My two dogs were Jolie's first job. They had a yard to play in but my little Chihuahua was too small to be left out there by himself, as he might have slipped through the gate. They seemed pretty thirsty when we picked them up. Our cruise was late coming in from a heavy fog so we were delayed in picking them up, which Jolie seemed understanding about. She bathed them, which we appreciate. She kept them in a space in her laundry room as our dogs are not use to being in a kennel or caged. We appreciated that too. We feed our dogs at night-she fed them in the morning. The dogs' food bowls and water bowls were rinsed off in water and put in a plastic bag, but I wash mine with soap and water and dry them. Then start over the next day. She had all dog toys, bed, bowls ready for us when we picked up our dogs. No hassle, just ready to get out the door. Thank you for watching our family members!
