Kate did fairly well at the kennel this past weekend (her "trial" before we go on vacation for two weeks this summer).
Although she did well, I must admit I'm still really apprehensive about leaving her there for a whole 2 weeks in the summer, that's a long time!
She stayed at the kennel for 3.5 days (3 nights). Her report card said she played really well with the dogs they paired her with for playtime, and that there wasn't an aggresive bone in her body!
That's my good girl
It also said that Kate LOVED her cuddle/massage/brushing time with her caregiver (named Katie, too funny)!
Kate gives us a hard time when we brush her, so I wonder what they did to have her cooperate???
The only (sort-of) problem they had with Kate was her eating (or lack of). She only ate 1 cup a food a day, and she'd eat it throughout the night. 1st night she didn't eat at all actually
She wouldn't eat her bully sticks either, we sent 3 with her (1 per day, just little ones) and she never even touched the 1st one they gave her over all 3 days...
AND...I asked how she slept (tough for them to know) and they said her bed looked as if it wasn't touched very much (no indents in it nor was it ruffled around at all)...this made me think that maybe she didn't sleep (unless she slept elsewhere and not on the bed)?
I don't know...
So...I don't know what I think about leaving her for 2 weeks
She went CRAZY when we picked her up, she was sooooooo happy to see us
(but on the same note) was whining as we were leaving and she was watching her caregiver walk away and barking at her...
As soon as we hit the highway, she was asleep in the truck (ha ha ha)
She was MAD at us the whole next day (snubbed us all day long) but today she has been back to her old happy self!
So I'm satisfied with her stay there, but don't know what I think about a whole 2 weeks this summer
Am I expecting too much? Am I being silly? I don't know!!!
