We use to put RB Max in a local kennel. It was big, clean & all the dogs who got along could play together in a big pen. RB Max got walked by the 8 yr old daughtor & was alloud to run free in the back yard.

But the 5th time we brought him there his face was all torn up & it took me weeks to clean & heal the gashes in his lips. They didn't even tell us anything happened, until I was giving him a bath cause he was COVERED in mud. The mud wash off his face & showed that his droppy lips were cut wide open & packed with mud. Was not happy.

After that we never left him at a kennel ever again. We just left him in the house & Carrie across the street cared for him. She loved Max. She would walk him & her 2 weeeee RB doggies every day, sometimes more. Take him to her house to sleep on her bed, or she would sleep on our couch with him. Her dogies wern't alloud in our house, Buddy peed all over the living room once.

She was paid in eating whatever was in the house, use the phone for local calls, watch tv, sleep over, hang out when ever she wanted too & $20.00 when we got back. She didn't want more then $20.00 for a weekend. She liked our snacks & the case of pop we bought her & the doggie treats she could share with her doggies on walks.

She was also given a key to the house to hold onto , cause her dad was an abusive drunk, so our house was a safe house & he knew that Max would never let him in our house & if he tried, he'd loose. Max is a very smart & could harm a person very baddly with those locking jaws of his.

Oh & never put ur dog at the vets when going away, unless u know the vet well enough not to lie to u.

We thought we were leaving Max in good hands. WRONG. The kennel roof was sunken in so baddly Max couldn't put his head up normally. He was the largest dog there & in the smallest kennel. Max cannot drink well water & we made that clear & he's not to eat other dog food & other dogs cannot use his dishes & food.

Well we stopped at the farm where they said he was & his dishes were in another dogs kennel, he had other dog food in a dirty bowl & he had been drinking well water. I had one sick puppy dog for over a week. I had to clean my moms car when we got home. there was diareha all over his butt & on his back leggs. I locked him up in the kitchen incase he had to go all over the place. We also left the door unlocked cause he knew how to open it when he had to go.

Poor poor thing.
