Joe and I are going to an over-nighter for his Christmas Party tonight. It is about an hour away at a very nice Beach Resort. His company rents a whole floor for the employees to stay instead of drinking and driving.

My very good friend I work with that has two boys 9 and 11, offered to dog sit, she KNOWS what Vegas means to me and offered, so I took her up on it. I figured Vegas would LOVE playing with the boys. I took him there about an hour ago so I could spend time with him there. He LOVED the boys!! They have a totally fenced in back yard and he was all over the place with them.

Finally I have to get going so I can come home and get ready to go, just waiting on Joe to get off work. I squatted down and gave Vegas a big hug and kiss and told him to be good. He follows me to the back door, we leave him out with the boys, Perfect day, very overcast and 67* out. Vegas stood outside the back door and was actually crying LOUD for me :crying: It broke my heart!!

I called about 10 min. after I left and my friend said he was kind of listless for a few minutes then went back to playing with the boys.

Of course I gave her a list of do's and dont's longer than I ever did with my skin-kids, and I know he will be well taken care of, it just broke my heart that he was crying for me when I left. I told her I would call in a few hours to check on him...I think she thinks I am nuts!! :lol:

:hug: Kelly...you ARE nuts! Just like the rest of us! Look at it this way..Vegas will be the center of attention..he WON'T be locked up in a kennel in a cold dark overnight place. He will close his eyes tonight and dream of his wonderful mommy! And tomorrow,you will be there! Plus it gives those little boys a chance to love a Bulldog! What better thing is there than THAT! :luv:

[MENTION=2092]JAKEISGREAT[/MENTION], this is how bad it is bothering me, what you just said to me made me get big tears!! I know he will love playing with the kids (and my friend knows he has a humping issue, I HOPE he does not try) the boys were fighting over who Vegas gets to sleep with. Aawww, and yes I will pick him up tomorrow and love all over him.

He will be fine and next time, just like skin-kids, he won't even look back and realize you are gone! Enjoy the party.

It is hard leaving them that's for sure, but I'm sure your friend will take good care of him and the boys will play with him and he will sleep like a baby tonight. Have fun tonight and you can give him a big hug tomorrow.

Now Vegas is going to want a kid of his own! There is no better place to leave him than with 9 and 11 year old boys. Believe me, he won't even miss you, in fact when you go to get him he probably won't want to go without at least 1 kid going too.
Have a great time at the party. Joe has a very thoughtful boss to provide overnight accommodations so there is no drinking and driving!

Reading this got me all emotional too! Vegas loves his momma and wants her to have a great fun time tonight. Hopefully you are! Those two lucky boys get to play with sweet Vegas tonight. That's a great gift to give those kids!

I can't believe you call Joe that, you haven't even met him!!!!!!:ROFL:

ROFLMAO!

I wish there were a couple of neighbor kids - wait, not neighbor kids, imported kids maybe - to come over and tire these two out. Vegas is going to have the blast of his life following them around and playing. A good dog is a TIRED dog and you're going to have one angel-like, sleepy pooch after all that activity!
