Jack is my first dog and we are supposed to go on vacation in July for a week, which means Jack will be going to a kennel for that week. He seems real attached to me (and obviously I am to him) and I am afraid to leave him on his own for the first time. The kennel is very nice and he will have his own "suite" as they call it (actually a dog run that is 5'x5'x6' with an attached 12' outdoor dog run). I think I am just worried that Jack will think I didn't want him anymore and that he will spend a week all upset. It is making my husband mad because I am allowing this to ruin our plans. I am just wondering if he is still too young for me to put into the kennel and would appreciate any suggestions/comments/opinions from those of you that have much more experience with dogs than I do. Thanks!
