Leaving Lizzie at the vet

So as you know, Todd the Bod doesn't let me let anyone know when we are out of town anymore.  That whole "burglary thing" really got his goat!  And so, it KILLS me to withhold all of our comings and goings.  WHY am I this way?!  According to the Myers Briggs, I am 100% extrovert.  That is actually not a good thing.  It's better to be about 50% of something and therefore more balanced.  As it is, I think my thoughts out of my mouth and obviously through my fingertips and onto the keyboard!! 

So, as we are gallavanting with princesses, it is KILLING me to not post pictures and tell stories and share the experience. 

So to all you robbers who read my blog, we are now back home, so stay away!  And I can now commence to tell my story from last week. 

First, we had to postpone our original flight because Ellie, Gabbi, and probably me too, all ended up with the FLU!  Gabs had it first, but she perked WAY up after 24 hours.  At 4:30 am on Friday, when we were scheduled to be on a plane at noon, Ellie spiked a 104 fever, and we were forced to call the airline who so nicely obliged our cancellation. I suppose they didn't want infection control to come force them out of business.

We begrudgingly sat inside the house all weekend long trying to get everyone well, and by Monday, we knew it was going to be a possibility!

First things first, Todd the Psycho, also feels that it is too much of a burden to have anyone feed Lizzie, so we tried our first trip with boarding her. 

We took her to our local vet and dropped her off for a WEEK!

Gabbi Lou held her leash and really didn't know what to expect as we led her into the office.

Lizzie didnt' really know what to expect either.  She is not a dog that I'd say "plays well with others".  She is AWESOME with people, but she seems highly protective over her family and rarely really wants to galavant with other dogs.  Sometimes she does, but she is WAY more of people dog!!

So, we said our goodbyes and loved on her and took a picture or two....

Gabs felt it necessary to make sure Liz was looking at the camera!  

SHe also bawled her little eyes out when we walked outside to get in the car without her.  Apparently, she did NOT know why we were at the vet.  She must have thought we were just taking Liz on a little joy ride.

And so, this is the first picture I posted on FB/ Instagram as a hint of our heading out.  Some of you figured it out.  I mean, I DID post a pic of Gabs in a Chinese outfit!  We don't typically wear that around here.  (although we might start!!)

Tomorrow, I'll post pics of airport drama!  Whoop whoop!!
