[Gpdd] [GPDD] Care: Question about going away

[Susi Eastin]

It seems reasonable that we could leave a goodly supply
  of water, food, hay, etc, and the piggies would be ok.
  However - we must always consider Murphy's Law, which
  I have learned the hard way, more than once. Even being
  gone just for the day, I've come home to disaster. Like
  having the power go off, or the a/c quitting. This time of
  year it shouldn't be such a factor, but there are other
  things that can go wrong. Water bottles can fall, piggies
  can suddenly go where they shouldn't, I've even walked
  back into the room only minutes later (thankgoodness!)
  to find a certain piggie boy with his back foot caught, 
  after going over the wall. Scared us all to death, but
  he was ok. 
  Not to mention your company - do you leave the tv or
  radio on for them? It does help calm their nerves (depending
  of course, on the progrram!). If you could at least get your
  neighbor or friend to check in on them at least (preferably
  twice) a day while you're gone, they'd probably be better
  than going to a strange place. 
  Just my 2 cents's worth.
