I just KNEW this was going to be another boarding kennel bashing thread without even opening it.
as i was writing my above story...i neglected to say that i felt this way...i knew i had only tried it once and i HAVE heard stories of good ones. i honestly haven't done my research enough to put out a bad stereotype on boarding kennels. i'm sure there ARE really good ones out there. i do feel, however, that pets being in their own surroundings will always be better than putting them somewhere they are unfamiliar with.

but i do apologize for not standing up for the kennels out there that ARE good to their boarding pets
