[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we don't fly with her she will be alone with a sitter/dog daycare for 6-7 weeks and I just can't think to do that to her.

1. I don't know how I will get on without her

2. I'll worry every minute

3. If she gets in a fight or injured or sick and we aren't there to get here or help her

4. If she thinks we've abandoned her [/quote]

OP, if you need to dog for your needs, that's fine -- but don't worry about the dog's needs.  There are lots of great pet sitters out there that will really love and care for your dog, and they can even email you regular pictures and let you Skype with your dog.   The dog won't think you've abandoned her.  One of the great things about dogs is that they have a really crappy sense of time.  If you are gone for 2 hours or 2 months, it feel to them like you've been gone "for a while."  I've had dogs that did not see family members for *years* and when they saw them again, they picked right up where they had left off playing with them.  They are much more flexible than humans that way.  
I'm not sure where you're going to 6-7 weeks, but one relevant question might be whether the dog will be happy and comfortable wherever you're going.[/quote]
