due to our renewed discovery of "getting away" (i.e. no major house projects recently), we have had to leave our beloved pooch on most occasions.
i hate leaving her and have nightmare images of her sad eyed, cowered in the corner of a cold concrete slab, shivering uncontrollably thinking "what did i do? was i a bad girl? why did they leave me?" and then i remember dogs don't have that kind of cognition, but still.....i makes me sad.
recently, we've dropped her off at Elite boarding about 3 times over the last few months. she seems to really like it. derrick took me to the back where she would be kept and the kennels are nice a big, with an inside and outside area to get some sun. everything looked clean and i was satisfied.
derrick is always friendly and our pooch seems to like him. he's a dog lover and is apparently very familiar with dog showings (there's neat pic's of him with champion dogs all over the walls). they also offer grooming and a variety of doggy services, which i'm too cheap to take advantage of.
the prices are very reasonable and i feel safe leaving my little girl there. i wish they were open on sunday so we wouldn't have to pay that extra night when we get back in town on saturday evening or sunday.
