My husband and I were going out of town for a week and needed a place to drop the "kids" off for care while we were gone. Called around and Doggie District gave the best prices and they did a military discount. They said that a three day daycare orientation was necessary so they could make sure that the girls would do good in a new environment. The first day was the hardest. I have never been away from the dogs for no reason. House was so quiet without them! But they came home happy and exhausted from all the play! Our three days went off without a hitch. Each day I left them a little longer so they could get used to the different activities. Each day they came home more tired than the last!
When it came time to drop the kiddos off before our trip, I was a wreck. The girls kept reassuring me that they will be fine and that with all the playing they would be doing, they wouldn't even notice that I was gone! I literally called every day, even before we left Vegas! They gave me a little progress report every day and the girls were doing great! Lucy and Stella had even made a few friends (and boyfriends!). They really dealt with our babies little quirks, like when everyone went outside to play after "nap time" and Stella decided that she wanted to just stay in her "room" and veg.
When we got home, the girls were ecstatic to see us (obviously!) and while my neighbor, who picked them up before closing, forgot their big blankie, the ladies emailed me to let me know that it was there and that I could pick it up the next day. Went to pick it up and they had washed and dried it for us! They really go the extra mile and we will definitely be bringing the girls (and their new baby brother) back to doggie district centennial!
