We're often asked about what we do with our pet when we find ourselves in situations where having a dog might be either inconvenient or inadvisable. They'd prefer to take them along everywhere they go.
Some pets seem genuinely to hate being boarded.
They may refuse to eat, and pine for their owners. If the dog has been used to kennels from puppyhood, it is obviously easier for all concerned. She is fairly large for a Brit, weighing around 40 pounds. She loves to travel with us, and we enjoy having her along. But sometimes, we think it's just is not appropriate to bring her along.
