I've just seen my two for the last time till I get back next Wednesday!! I am off to Jamaica and I have been looking forward to it but I really don't want to leave them.

I know they will be well looked after etc but I can't help worrying and don't even get me started on having to leave the dog!!

When did I become so wet :/
 
Me too. I am off to Honk Kong and New Zealand and part of me is dreading it. What happens if something happens while I am away?! :( Its a holiday of a lifetime and if I don't go now I may never have the opportunity again but leaving my boy behind is a real wrench!

Hope you have a great time!

I no how you feel, I am going to new Zealand at the end of January to visit my daughter. I am going for a month, I have never left my animals this long, the horse will be in very good hands, although we don't like to admit it, they soon dump there owner for the next person who has the feed bowl. It's the dogs I am fussing about, one of them will be fine, but the other one will find it hard I think, he is my shadow and is quiet high maintenance, my daughter will be looking after him, along with my friend. But it will be great to see my daughter, and because I am going so far that is stopping me fussing to much as there is nothing I can do about it. Enjoy your holiday.
 
Funny, I always dread going and leaving my menagerie, obsess about details and making sure everything is set up before I go, then when I'm away I don't give them a moments thought! I suppose because if something goes wrong there isn't a darn thing I can do about it (and nothing ever has, really). Enjoy your holidays.
 
Lucky you hope you have a great holiday.

I hate leaving mine, especially as last time I left them one of them also ended up having a very costly weeks holiday in the vets.

We are going to India for a month at the end of this year, how I am going to cope leaving them for that long I don't know.
 
I am glad I am not the only one! I know once I am there i will be fine. I just didn't want to leave the yard today, I kept finding little jobs to do just so I could stay a bit longer. I am now cuddled up with the dog before I drop him off to my parents tonight. I know he will be spoilt but he is very highly strung and wants to be with me all the time. I have to just keep remembering that he will be fine once he is cuddled up with my dad!!

Hope guys all enjoy your holidays. My husband said this is the last one now cuz it's too much hassle with the dog and horses so I need to make the most of it :)
 
I must be very cruel and hard because leaving my horse(s) to go on holiday doesn't bother me in the slightest! He is looked after by people I trust, has the same routine, still has his horsey pals, is worked and turned out while I'm away and I'm sure doesn't miss me in the slightest.

I like getting home to see my horse but I don't miss them while I'm away, plus I can always text the YO if I want to check up on them.
