I travel with our dogs as often as possible. I’ve only left my dogs a few times in their lives in a boarding facility. I have been very fortunate that most of the times I have ever left the dogs, we’ve had a wonderful pet sitter to come to our home or we’ve left them with their grandparents. It has helped me to feel a little less guilty when I have had to leave them.
Have you seen some of the new boarding facilities for dogs? They are like luxury hotels! They are wonderful. I can’t wait until there’s one near me. I’m sure I’d feel much more comfortable leaving my dogs knowing they were not in a cage.
These state of the art facilities have play times, grooming times, cuddle times and sleep time. They have TV’s playing upbeat cartoons, soothing jazz music, beds, pillows, toys and nearly all the comforts of home. The only thing missing is “mommy and daddy”!
