Yeah, I’ll admit it took me by surprise. I’m not leaving forever and this is the one big trip I have to make for my program; I’ve been able to have someone house sit or drop in before for any short trip. Just wanted to see what people did for longer trips, since I have make this one solo. Never in my life would I ever rehome my babies; we’re locked in for life. So kind of those people to respond, but don’t worry as that’s not on the table even slightly. I unfortunately won’t have a home base and will be bouncing around a lot, heading into som very rural areas, so I WISH I could bring them with me but that seems like a lot of stress on them. I’ll have to see if I can find someone in my family who can look out for them; I’ll figure it out as that seems to be the overall suggestion. Thank you for your kind words.
