I have 5 dogs in my home. They are all very close and they cannot stand to be separate from one another. They become very upset if even on or two are taken to the Vet and the others are left home. I have yet to find a boarding place that had kennels large enough for all 5 to stay together. I tried in home once or twice and I found mixed results. Recently I had Patti' Pet Pampering Service attend to my 4 legged children while I was away. I think they almost did not want me back home. She was wonderful with all of them and soiled them completely rotten. She sent me twice daily updates and pictures of them playing. It was so very nice to not spend those days away on business worried about my canine children.
