Pets need vacations also

We all know that feeling...I need a vacation.  Do you ever wonder if your pets feel the same way?  I do for sure.  It is amazing how excited my dog gets on the weekend.  It's the weekend so not vacation but he just knows something fun is on his agenda...long walks, running in the rivers and more.  Than Monday hits and he's on the couch and I can tell he's not as happy as he was on the weekend.  Sometimes he has the look of I need a vacation on his face.

When the real vacations are in the plans, my dog see's the bags come out and he gets so excited.  But there is also a little bit of stress that comes with the excitement which is "are they taking me with them".  He parks himself by the door and I think this is his way of saying don't forget me.  Than the moment comes where we pull out his pack...the excitement is amazing to watch.  He doesn't know if we are going for a quick trip or a extended beach vacation but he doesn't care...he's going somewhere.

We all know the feeling of needing a vacation and the excitement when it's time to go.  I think our pets have these same thoughts and whether its the weekend or vacation, they are so happy.
