"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. \n\ni 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. \n\nrecently, 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. \n\nderrick 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. \n\nthe 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."^^ .
