Good luck, Audrey!!! I worked at a boarding kennel/training facility for 3 years and it was so much fun! Hard physcial work but great fun. I couldn't wait to get there in the morning and wake up all the sleepy puppers! And I went home worrying about them all If you don't get this one, don't give up! And perhaps she'd be willing to keep your application on file. Kennels always need extra help on holidays and during the summer. There were tons of teenagers/young people working at my kennel part time/after school. All paws crossed!
