While we are getting ready for our long waited vacation, Callie, the dog, is unaware that she’ll be boarded at the kennel tomorrow where she can bark to her content.  We knew she barked or even shrieked there because she had no voice left by the time we picked her up.  That was just for a long weekend.  Imagine this time. Three weeks long.  I think she will sign with her paws in order to communicate with us when we return.

As I was packing and moving around, I was overwhelmed with guilt because we wouldn’t see her for 3 weeks.  At this moment, I can care less about her diet or she should look as skinny as Paris Hilton.  In order to make me feel better, I gave her a treat each time I passed her.  She probably wondered what she did today to deserve so many treats.
