Thank you all for your help. I think we have decided to keep all the kids at home (dogs and bird). The visitor is my neighbor and she cames by 3-5 times a day and stays here for almost an hour each time when she watches the dogs. She has had a too so she knows a little what she is getting into. We will only be gone for a couple of days. We live in Cali and our family is mostly in Kansas. We are also going to make a new dvd for them of us talking to them. I hope that will help keep her calmer, she can still hear us and see us. We think we will be flying out on Wednesday and returning Friday. The husband cant stand to leave her alone. So hopefully the trip will be short enough to not be to scary for her. We are also having the sitter come visit daily until we leave. Jezz has already met her on multiple occasions previously.

Once again thanks for your help.
