Title: Kennel
Post by: watermelon0719 on April 24, 2004, 03:29:07 AM
My husband and I moved to a totally new place (military) and the first time we had to leave our dog at a kennel, I freaked out. But turns out the guy was just superb.... his 3 year old son *loved* Odie and played with him everyday! I was sure that had we stayed away longer, they would've ended up adopting him! He was a big hit at the kennel, and enjoyed himself so much that we will definitely take him back there for our next vacation this summer.

I like to hear positive stories about kennels and that dogs do actually enjoy their time there.  Still wouldn't put mine in one though :wink:  :lol:  I saw a program the other week about a place in the states that had themed bedrooms for the dogs(complete with TV), a spa, they could get a massage and a pedicure. Now I would send mine there 8)

It is good to hear that you had a good experience with kennels.  Cockers are always a big hit wherever they go, aren't they?  Sounds like Odie was treated really well :D

We have one kennel here, it's run really well and the ladies who run it are really good with the dogs but the night time accommodation is in outbuildings so I don't think I could bring myself to put Morgan or Cooper there.  There is also a man here, who will take 3-4 dogs at a time and has them in his house.  My dad's girlfriend put her dog, Holly, there and she really enjoyed it -  mind when she went to pick Holly up, the man broke it to her as gently as he could that her dog was deaf  :shock:   Turned out he'd been calling her Suzie for the whole week - no wonder she didn't listen to him  :lol:   :lol:   :lol:
