Well, I'm glad I asked! Now everybody, get your airline tickets so I don't have to worry about you changing your mind!!

Sue, sure, we can have a "put the deck back together" party!!

Boo hoo hoo. I was making plans yesterday to go with DH. So, I e-mailed my pet sitter to ask her to reserve those days for me. She answered that she will in Michigan for two weeks, returning the day I would have planned to return.

I have three dogs and five birds...so pet sitter is necessary, even if only I go. DH can't take care of all those critters properly and go to work too.

I don't really want to take MiMi at any rate. It would make everything so much harder...and expensive. Her airfare would be $400. Does anybody remember when it cost $10 to take a pet...and they were allowed to walk on leash in the airport?

Does anybody have any good ideas? I would just hate to go off to have fun and leave Alan with so much work.

I don't think I would like to try a new pet sitter, unless it is somebody I know. Melissa takes better care of the babies than I do, and I still feel anxious leaving them.

Just got flight tickets done! I guess this means I am definitely coming.

Sylvia, could your usual pet sitter recommend someone? Do you think you'll feel more comfortable if you know she trusts the person?

**elly** · 02-01-2013, 07:52 PM

Reva and I are going. I plan to bring Mercedes and Whitney.

**educ8m** · 02-01-2013, 08:11 PM

Lynda C and I will be there for sure. We already have our flights booked and rooms reserved. I believe she is bringing Chachi and Gigi. I'm bringing Gracie and Ella and will be in the rally ring with Ella on Wednesday. I can hardly wait. This will be only be my second Nationals. Two years ago I was new to Maltese ownership and SM.

Sylvia, can you fly Southwest? They only charge $75 each way.

Alan said that he will take a few days off of work and stay home with the pets. I can go to Orlando by myself. I need to consider this for a day or two. I cannot rent a car and drive, as I am terrified of driving in unknown waters. If I could meet up with someone at the airport it would be really helpful. Also, if anyone wants to share a room, let me know.

Sign, no. Melissa is really special, but she doesn't have someone to recommend.

Can any maltese come?

Sylvia - I was going to say that at least you would have a couple of months to find a second sitter. Maybe a vet tech from the vet's office? Or ask other dog owners you know if they have anyone. Not bad having a number two go to person. Just saw you might come and Alan would stay home. I would still say look for a second person to spell him a bit. I'm so glad you're seriously thinking of coming. As far as getting from the airport and driving in unknown areas -- las time I went to Orlando I didn't rent a car. I just took a cab to the hotel from and to the airport and my hotel was a mile or two from where the Specialty is. Then you don't have to worry about meeting flight times, it's cheaper than a car rental and once you're on the hotel property you won't need a car of your own and others will have theirs.

I will definitely be there, sharing a room with Lynn. I've booked my airline ticket. It is a done deal!!!!! I won't be bringing Angel, so I'm hoping I'll be able to get my fix through some of the other babies that are there. I'm coming in on Monday, leaving on Saturday. So very excited, especially that I will be getting to meet some of you that I haven't been able to yet.
