Smilla, I don't know if you have left yet, but I wanted to say that I just know your Lefty will be just fine. I'm convinced that it is much harder on the humans than it is on the dogs!!!! I have a petsitter come to my house, and even knowing how wonderful she is and how much my pets love her (I have witnessed it), I still hate to leave them!!

I would suggest that you have them give Lefty a bath the day you plan to pick him up, if you can. Something about those kennels, no matter how nice they are, is that the dogs smell like dogs when you pick them up, if they don't get a good bath!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas trip.
