With the family vacation arriving quickly, one big part of the family won’t be joining us. Deke and Delaney.
I know I’m not the only person that treats and loves their pets like children. I certainly do and there is always a slight feeling of guilt leaving them for the week. But that is when we call on family once again.
Years ago when I started playing hockey, I met this group of guys who went from being just teammates to some of my closest friends. A couple of the guys went from teammates, to close friends, to what I have now considered for years my brothers. I’m lucky and blessed to have these people in my life.
So when we leave Deke and Delaney while we are enjoying the islands, my brother Kevin and his wife Gina will be house and dog sitting for us (again….because they have done this in the past as well).
I understand people having the need to put their dogs in kennels or pet hotels while they travel and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Those places can be great. But I cannot bring myself to do it to my two. So having them stay here and knowing everything is taken care of is 100% peace of mind to allow us to enjoy our trip…..and that is absolutely priceless to me. I cannot thank them enough for allowing us that.
So while we are away enjoying our trip, Deke and Delaney will enjoy their stay-cation with two of their favorite people. They will get to play, swim in the pool, and enjoy time with who we always tell them is “Mommy and Daddy 2”.
