He's just a dog

I am doing my best to remind myself that Miner is just a dog. I'm feeling a little guilty about leaving Miner for about 2 weeks when we go to Hawaii. A friend at work keeps reminding me, "Amy, I leave my son for a week and don't fret near as much as you are about this. Miner is a dog." David is grateful for this.

Growing up, we never put our dogs in a kennel. Neighbors always just made sure they were let out, fed, etc. Really, the kennel will be like a vacation for Miner (my friend from work also says this). They let him out every 3 hours. He gets to play with other dogs. There is radiant-in-floor-heating.

He'll be fine. He's just a dog.
