    What would you have done?

    About two weeks back, DW and I went to the Grand Canyon south rim and people were walking around with their dogs so when we decided to pack a picnic lunch and go to the Grand Canyon west, Opie came with us. When we got to the gate, the lady told me they have a kennel that he could stay at a ranch a little ways back down the road. Opie don't stay with anyone, I hated leaving him with my son let alone people I don't know.

    Would you you have left your lab there or turn around and head out like us?

    I would have turned around! Kain is like my child and like you I don't leave him with anyone. His day care was a miracle. Other than that, only my cousin who is as into her dogs as me and my parents have ever watched Kain.

    Would have left. I almost just canceled a trip this weekend because our sitter (close friend) fell through. Thankfully my FIL rocks and is driving all day Friday to watch the boys for us this weekend. Yup. We are very fortunate.

    So what did you do instead?

    We just went and ate our lunch in a forest of yucca trees, drove an incredible 40 mile dirt road to Route 66. Kind of made a huge loop. Had a fun day anyways.

    Would have definitely headed back. I am getting ready to drive 8 hours to WI with all three dogs b/c I don't want to leave them behind for a whole week
