    I agree Kay. A couple of summers ago we had to leave Jada and Diamond in a kennel we went to a family reunion out of town. Anyway, they were only there for three nights but they were both so stressed out when they got home that they were sick. I thought we were going to have take them to the vets. It broke my heart. A lot of those dogs could very well be scared to death.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    There are so many kennels that don't disinfect(sp), that only let the dogs out once or twise a day, hardly cleans, and there is fleas everywhere. I am so thankful I work at a clean sanitized kennel. I know there are tons of dogs that come home from kennels that are so sick.
    1. because all they do is yell at dogs to stop barking
    2. not cleaned
    3. other dogs
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    Now I'm afraid to take Charlie. We are boarding him at Creature Comfort animal vet place that my vet recommended cus they were full. From this Thurs till Mon.

    I hope he will be ok. And not be scared sick. I want to bring him with me. It's a 9 hour trip in a car.

    The Dog House is extremely picky about cleanliness to a point where I think it becomes a little too obsessive, but too much is better than not enough for all these dogs I guess. I know some are scared, but others are just impossible. One lady brought a lab in and her kids were with her and you could tell she was thrilled to be rid of the kids' dog for the weekend. I was less than thrilled to be receiving it though. Yes, its the owners' fault and its the owners I am mad at. I couldn't believe my own thoughts the other day when I was thinking that I could manage without getting another dog for a while. That's how exhausting the job is.

    When my RB dog was a pup he was a terror from hell!! We had to board him for a couple days during a trip we took him on & we told them that hes hyper, will pull the leash & may bite hard. So its best to leave him in a large kennel. The kennel people were happy. Turnes out he was ok on the 2ed day & they took him out to play with him. He was only 6mth old, but he was big, strong & very protective for a pup. We also left ALL his food there, so ther was no worries, just incase he had to stay an extra day. He also had his own supply of water as he had a sensitive tummy...

    Never had any complaints when boarding him. 1 place just loved when he was boarded & he was spoiled rotten & allowed in the house to play with their kids.

    He also went to 1 bad place.. it was an emg. & we boarded him with the vet. They brought him to the farm & put him in a kennel there as the vets kennels are too small for a large dog. We drove to the farm to pick him up & EWWW.. I litterly had a cow!! He was in a caved in kennel (had to duck to walk), there was poo everywhere!! & HIS dish & Water pail was in another dogs kennel & he had country water in the nasty dish that was in his kennel!! My poor dog has the runs so bad, it was all over him!!! I checked to see if the other dog was friendly so I could get my things from its kennel.. He was good, but as soon as the lady came out of the house, I demanded my pail of food (which was WAY lower then it should have been as it was a full pail & there was no way in hell he ate 20p of dog kibble in 3 days!!!).. I was ugly that day & he never went to that vets again...

    I do understand why your sick of dogs. Its the owners fault but you have to deal with the dogs not the owners, so your sick of dealing with dogs... Its ok, it'll take time to get use to the fact that people are stupid... Feel bad for those pups though, sheesh...
