This was the fourth day that my mommy gave me medicine to keep me calm. There were a few things different this morning though… like Taylor’s friend stayed overnight, and everyone got up really early. Then there was the suitcase. Ah, the dreaded suitcase. I only saw it used once, and that was last year when I was just one year old. That time I had to stay overnight at Doggie Camp with Nala.
And this time was no different — the suitcase meant that Nala and I had to be overnight at Doggie Camp, without our family. I had hoped that I wouldn’t get sick like that first time they left us there.

Here I was again, in the car. But this time I wasn’t alone.
My family, including Nala and Taylor’s friend, were with me.
Mommy had given me one of those sleepy pills, so I
wouldn’t be that nervous in the car and at Doggie Camp.
Nala didn’t get one of those pills at home, but she did end
up getting one when we got to camp. She’s never had one before,
but mommy thought it may take away some of her anxiety.
Nala knew where we were going. I kinda knew, but didn’t care much.
It didn’t take long before we arrived at Doggie Camp.
Nala lagged behind, ’cause she really didn’t want to go inside.
When Nala and I went inside the room, they had to switch
a few doggies around so Nala and I could be next to each other.
We went into 2 separate kennels. I would have loved to be in the
same kennel as Nala, but we all know that Nala would have gone
crazy about that. π
And this is how mommy left us. I wish that I would have been
able to at least SEE Nala, but the divider between our kennels
wasn’t see-through. They need to make some changes!
I found out later, that my family and Taylor’s friend, went to WDW and stayed overnight. Mommy said that she brought me to Doggie Daycare for each of the three days before they left, ’cause she wanted me to get used to being there.
The first day she left me there for about an hour, then the second day she left me there about 4 hours, then the third day she left me there about 5½ hours. I guess I was a bit more comfortable being there on the fourth day… hmmm, maybe the medicine had something to do with it too.
While my family was at WDW…
Flat Bailey and Flat Nala (Flat B&N) joined them!
We loved Dinoland the best! Who doesn’t like dinosaurs?!
There was so much wildlife! Look at this cute little birdie!
And this striking black one…
And there were loads of duckies! Taylor said she saw
some ignorant boy pick up and hold one of the duckies while
he and his friends were eating lunch. She was very angry, and
said that some people will do anything to try and look cool…
even when there was no chance of that happening.
This is a pic of Taylor and her friend on Everest.
These are some of the pretty fireworks my family saw.
It’s a good thing Nala wasn’t there — the noise would have scared her.
Such pretty colorssss!
This was a van that was parked next to their car.
Flat B&N spent the night in a hotel suite with my family.
There was a pool, but it was too cold to go in.
At night they all relaxed with some television. Then the next day…
Our family came and got Nala and me!
And took us back home. We were so, so happy they were back!
I think I understand now why mommy had me go to Doggie Daycare for a few days — she wanted me to try and get used to being there. Oh mommy… I will never be used to being without you, daddy and Taylor.
About that medicine that mommy gave me — it’s a sedative called, “Acepromazine,” or “Ace.” It did keep me from being very anxious, ’cause being away from my family makes me go crazy. Mommy doesn’t like to give us medicine unless it’s really necessary, and she felt that this time it was necessary. She did not want me to make myself sick like last time. The only bad thing, is that the medicine could take a couple of days to get out of my system, which, as of the time I wrote this post, I’ve been sleeping a lot and not really eating much.
I’m keeping my paws crossed that my family doesn’t ever go away again. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

The dogs before me went to kennels and shared one, they were very happy doing that. I think Nala needs to be nice and kind to you.
Walt Disney World! That is **AWESOME**. We sure are sorry that you had to go overnight to daycamp though. That sounds…terrible.
How furry smart, what a wonderful way to get prepared for a longer overnight stay!!
-Brandon
I know, know, know, know, KNOW how you feel. Mom’s tried the short stuff and I’m still not happy. I don’t know what happened–I used to like it? I sure hope you get to have a better time…..in time.
I am so glad that your family is home and no more doggie camp for you!!
~Higgins
If you don’t want to get to day care anymore, shake real bad and do pee pee on the rug when you get home. Now we don’t go anymore
Benny & Lily
At least you’re back home again now. And you’re hap-pee that your family had a lot of fun, aren’t you? They would NEVER leave you there if it wasn’t necessary. All’s back to normal now.
:o)
That was a great way to get you ready for the overnight stay, Bailey. So it sounds like it all went quite well. Great!!!
AND Mom and Taylor had some fun too – not that’s a win-win!!!
Happy snoozing, Bailey.

I am very much glad that your family is all back together again.
That one fireworks.. that looks like a Butterfly is just amazing!!!
I think your mommy did a good thing, smart. But nothing beats being with the mom.
Blessings,
Goose
I bet your glad that’s over and you and Nala are home and safe with your family again! At least your Momma tried to make things a little easier for you this time. You gotta love her for that, Bailey!
Hmmmm I think Mommy needs to check out pet friendly vacation spots…..they is a whole web site dedicated just to that, That is what my Mom and Dad do ….they find places where they can take us too π
Mommy and daddy used to sometimes take Nala with them on their vacations, and she would stay at a kennel like Best Friends and stay with them at their hotel overnight. But now that I’m with them, and I don’t ride in the car as well, they’re not sure if I would be able to make such a long trip. Maybe one day, though. π
You have such a smart mommie to take you to doggie camp several days in a row for short periods of time. That way you knew that mommie would be back to get you!
