When we were planning this trip, one of the hardest decisions we had to make was to leave the dogs behind. They usually go everywhere with us and they LOVE to go hiking, camping and backpacking . We knew that with the kind of trip we were planning, having them with us would not be an option. Most dogs are not allowed on a lot of the trails and we definitely could not have backpacked with them. My mom agreed to keep Rigby & Roady for the 9 weeks that we would be gone. I gave mom a list and made a calendar of everything the dogs needed and she put up with my obsessive-self and politely listened to all my instructions. I want to say a HUGE and SPECIAL THANK YOU to my mom, WOOF NANA and to my dad, WOOF PAPA for taking such amazing care of Rigby and Roady. Thank you for the text updates, videos, face-time, and for being so awesome taking care of them. I like to think that Rigby & Roady got a little vacation too. They went to Sonic, lots of truck rides around the country-side, went to the river and even jumped in my Uncle's swimming pool. They had someone with them all the time and, just like at home, got their 15 minutes of bone-time 3 times a week. While there were plenty of times that I missed them, I knew that they were in amazing hands!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I was able to enjoy my trip almost worry-free knowing that my fur babies were in your hands!!!! I love you both so very very much!!!!!
