All I could think about was Charlie :((update)

I'm back from my trip to Ks. Charlie went to a boarding Kennel. I felt like I was giving him up when I put him in there I almost cried. Then I told myself I will be back to pick him up and I wasn't abandoning him.

The whole trip I was worried about him being scared. I watched Lady and the Tramp, and there was a scene where all the doggies were crying. That made me think of Charlie.

My whole trip all I could think about was getting home to Charlie. I miss him. I haven't had him all that long, but I'd be lost with out him. I didn't really know what an impact he has already had on me till now. I get to pick him up tomorrow(monday) I sure do hope he isn't traumatized.

Next time, I hope I can bring him with me. Do med size dogs do well on 9 hour drives?

And also.. how do you situate them? meaning... I have a carseat in the middle of the back seat.. Do I put the seat on the side instead and have him sit in back? Last time he rode in front, and he turned my car off lol.

ooo I can't wait to get him tomorrow

Charlie... Charlie...Charlie..!!!!

Don't feel guilty. I'm sure you have chosen the best kennel there is around your area and if you could you would take Charlie with you anyway. Like most people I can't always take Snowy with me when I am away. I am grateful when a friend take care Snowy for me whilst I'm away but when it is not possible I do put her in a kennel. I think of it as Snowy staying in a doggie hotel, not a doggie prison. I know the staff there are taking a good care of Snowy.

When you do take Charlie for a long drive, make sure you take breaks for yourself and also Charlie

Awww don't worry he will be okay. Have you picked him up yet?

I ordered him a bath. I will get him in 2 hours.

That is good! I bet you are just so excited and want him back so bad!

((UPDATE))

I'm back. He was soooo happy to see me.

His elbows are red and he's got a spot on his foot. He keeps licking them.

Is this from stress or did he pick up some kind of skin thing from there?

Poor baby!
