Hans spends every day at doggie daycare and when we go away he spends the night. He loves it!!! They are so good to him there. Just make sure he's sleeping indoors, the place is clean, etc. You never know, absence makes the heart grow fonder!!! Hans is so happy to see us, we have a great time together when I pick him up! Oh yeah, bring a pillow or a blanket for him to sleep on.
