Please help me to feel less guilty about going on holiday without my dog

[JenfaK]

I go on holiday tomorrow for 3 weeks. It's a very much needed holiday with DH after a very, very tough year.

Our dog is going to stay with some very good friends of ours who have looked after him before, but never for this long.
I think I'm just feeling particularly hormonal since AF is due to visit tomorrow and after a TTC for many months it's a kick in the gut. I didn't feel this level of guilt last time we left him. But this time around I can't stop crying.

Our friends who are looking after him are great and I know that he loves going there and he loves their dog too.

I think I just need some kind words or something.

Oh don't feel guilty, it sounds like your dog will enjoy their break with your friends too and just think, when you get back, they will be delighted to see you again!

Enjoy your holiday !

It's so kind of you to give your dog a holiday too and he gets his friend to play with too!

And I have to add, you are incredibly lucky to have friends who do this so they must love having them
