Our family goes away often. Whether it is for a weekend or a week, we leave town about six times a year. Often it doesn’t make sense to take Maple with us. From day one, it was crucial that we find her the perfect place to go when she cannot be with us. In the beginning, the idea of leaving her with strangers made me very nervous.
Finding a kennel is easy, finding a good kennel is not. My friend gave me the name of her kennel. She mentioned that they only take the dogs out a few times a day to play. It didn’t sound great and I was far from thrilled but I needed to find a place for her to board. Luckily when I called them they were full. They gave me the name of another kennel. It ended up being a wonderful place, Maple’s home away from home.
Although it’s been almost two years, I still find it difficult to leave her at the kennel. Sometimes I feel sick the whole car ride home after dropping her off. Still, I take comfort in the fact that she runs in circles and her tail wags like crazy when we arrive there. She never seems traumatized when I bring her back home which is another good sign.
