I had Lilly two weeks when I had to board both she and Honey in a kennel. Lilly was about 9 weeks old, Honey was 6 months old. The beauty in boarding puppies is that they get LOTS of attention. They were boarded for a week, and were out, with my approval, constantly, especially Lilly. My friend, the owner of the kennel, said that it is hard to take out adult dogs to play because you don't always know what their temperment might be. But with puppies, they are usually trustworthy. Honey had just been spayed,a nd she did develop a bladder infection because of being in the kennel and "holding" it too much. But other than that, there were no problems.

Now that they're adults, I do use a petsitter, rather than boarding them. They are so spoiled that being in a cage does NOT make them happy at all.

I would imagine that the puppy will be fine, and get lots of attention. Yes, it might set back the housebreaking for a while, but I'll be he will be fine.

I am so sorry that you have suffered this loss in your family. You have had too much in recent months.
