our stories sound similar....

my boyfriend and i went to california for a week and i had no one to leave the pups with. so i let them with my vet, who my neighbors recommended and had always left their pets with. so i tried it...but much to my dismay, i found that due to my goldens nose being torn up from rubbing on cages all day, they must not have let them out much to play. i was more than upset to see my baby come home with a bloody nose and a scar to last forever. is this kind of thing allowed? to cage animals all day with no love, care, or play time?

i know NEVER to do that again! i felt like a horrorible mommy like i ruined my pups! not to mention that my shepherd learned to pee in her cage again and i had to re-train her in her potty ways.

i hope not to hear that many people do leave their pets at kennels, but i know i had to learn the hard way.
