You took the words right out my mouth.
The one and only time I had to board RB Cody, he was so stressed, he sat in one position for hours, ears back, wouldn't eat or drink. My mom kept calling to double check until she told them to stay open until she arrived to get him. That was less than 12 hours. The only reason he was boarded while I was on a business trip was my dad was ill and mom was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle everything. She could and did. I already have neighbors coming over to stay/feed Logan if i'm away for a weekend.
