Vacations? That's just awesome. I don't know, the thought of the sheep booking a long weekend to Key West because they "need to get away from work for a while" just cracks me up. Because it's so damn stupid.
It can be really easy to anthropomorphize animals, especially pets. I'm guilty of it all the time with my dogs. But I do also recognize that they're DOGS, and their needs/desires are much different than mine. And I'm ultimately responsible for their care, because in a lot of ways they can't do it themselves.
