Souraya,

Sorry your plans got screwed up, but it sounds like you've
considered all your other options. The kennel facility you
mentioned sounds great. Only thing you didn't mention, but
probably already planned for, is a Bordatella vaccination for
Drake beforehand. My daughter has two dogs and travels
quite often on business & pleasure. She uses a great Pet
Sitting service she found & the doggies are fed, walked &
visited 3 times a day for a very reasonable fee.
If you think Drake will like the kennel arrangement & it passes
your inspection, I'd take him there. Best of luck with all
your plans. Hope everything works out for you guys.
