Trudy is big too–about 32K, so a bit much in the hotel. I think a trip to the Lake District with your dogs would be wonderful, though!

No, we haven’t taken them yet. I would really, really love to do it but Stephen isn’t keen, saying that he wants a holiday away from all responsibilities. I think if we did go (maybe to the Lake District) the idea would be to take a holiday with them and eat self-catering etc. But still, that means that you can’t even go out and have a meal! They are way too big to leave in a hotel room alone – they’d go spare.

The best laid plans… LOL! Thanks for your sympathy :-)

Actually, Julia, that is a great idea. Our school has an online bulletin board and I found a few people that way, but it was too late as we had already cancelled our trip. Just goes to show that sometimes last minute isn’t necessarily the way to go! LOL

Emm, we did think of this, but there were several things we wanted to do in Switzerland that would require us to leave Trudy for many, many hours in a hotel room. Maybe if we had planned a different vacation, taking her along would have been ok. Have you taken trips with your dogs? I just wondered what happens when you need to leave them in the room… do you bring along a travel kennel?

Lucy Lucia, the only thing I can think of is the Dutch have a short break between school years and take a lot of their vacation during the summer months. I know our yard guy was going to take THREE WEEKS off. And this is during his busy season too. Very different from America, huh?

Christine, it IS! But I have to say, in a way I am glad we had to cancel our trip to Switzerland because it is supposed to rain there for the next four days. It would have made for some soggy hiking!

Yes! I’ve never lived in a place where there’s been a shortage of kennels. *sigh*
