There is absolutely no way in H E double hockey stix that I would board my dogs. No way. We always try to take them with us. They have stayed here in our house once when we went out of town for the weekend, with my MIL & FIL visiting several times a day and staying for about 4 hours a day to play and feed/water/medicate them. They have a pet door and a very secure yard, so we had no worries about that. My one concern was my MIL & FIL entering and exiting, so we left one garage door opener with them and explicit instructions NOT to go in and out through the front door. My nightmare is to get a call that they got out and can't be found.

Anyway, they all did great and were no worse for the wear. I was though.
