we had both our dogs stay there in Nov. over the veteran's weekend . our daughter was getting married and they walked in as if it was the best place every. we have Shitzu's and one is always very scared and she didn't shake and seem very ok with the area. I did not pick them up but my husband said they were very happy and no shaking from either dog. sooo thank you for treating my princesses Roxy and Jayda with the love you gave them. will bring them to stay again. :)
