On the subject of boarding Goldy: I checked out the vet's accommodations. All concrete--that's fine, I get that the runs have to be concrete for easy sterilization and cleaning. But the run? Also all concrete. I guess I understand that, too. And they let the dogs out three times a day, from what she said. But other than that, they don't have anyone there with the dogs at all.

I guess that's what it's like at the other place I've taken Goldy to for the past few years: but the other place has a lawn, with grass that they take the dogs out on, and space to run around, if that's what the dog wants to do. I don't even know if that kennel is even in business anymore. We'd much rather Goldy was able to stay at home--he's used to being by himself sometimes. But he's such a people dog. And we don't trust a friend of ours to faithfully give Goldy his heart medication that he needs.

I wonder if the grass is mostly my issue. The vet is also about $10 cheaper a day than the boarding kennel.

Why are you boarding? Vacation or something?

This is why I have trouble going anywhere. I am so attached to my dogs.

Yeah. When no one can be at home, muttsky gets to stay at a kennel. It's not easy to leave him behind. :-( I'd much rather take him with me, but he'd be so much more stressed out by an airplane.

Fortunately, it's the only time this summer he'll need to stay at a kennel.
