We booked Elka a doggie day care date for the day that we were going to be about 12 hours away from home. This is the 2nd time we’ve used Rover.com – the first time was in Philly when Edda had a neurologist appointment at CHOP and we were on the way to Bob and Katherine’s house. Ashley (who was about a mile away from where we were staying here in LA) took care of Elka for the day – there were two other doggies at her house – I got videos of Elka playing with the other dogs and snuggling with Ashley. It was unclear if Elka even missed us.

Elka finally got to get on someone’s bed at the sitter’s house. We’ve been enforcing no getting on furniture on this trip (and Elka is good about this) because some of our air B&Bs don’t want the dog on the furniture, but we miss a good snuggle in the bed in the evening and in the mornings.

That face! I’m glad she’s able to get a good vacation, too.
