| Boarding I my have to board Molly for a few days over Thanksgiving. I have never boarded a dog before. Will it scare her? Will they keep her in a cage the whole time? Does any one have any suggestions. I am tring to figure out how I can take her with me. I am such a spaze.

| I would talk to whoever is boarding her and see what they do. I boarded mine for a week and they were never in cages. My groomer kept them and she had a little room she kept them in when she wasnt with them. She took them to her home at other times

| I had to board Simon and Hallie in March. I was able to board them at the daycare I take them too so they played all day and only slept in the kennel at night (together). I would visit a few places and "interview" them, ask to see their facilities, meet the people that take care of the pets, etc. Mine had a great time, it was much harder on me IF you want to bring her to NY she can stay with us while you are gone (haha) |

| I just borded Cooper last weekend at my vets.....he got a great report card and seemed fine when we got home (other than the usual hyperness). They do have them in cages but not the entire time and we were able to bring some things from home for him. They also said that the little one's (who are so cute) usually get out more and are able to walk around with the people watching them. I was sick about it at first but it went well so now I'm feeling better about it and will do it again when needed. |

| all of the boarding facilities around my house keep the dogs in cages with "outdoor runs" well that was not going to work for me. i called around and found a "babysitter" if-you-will and it is at someone's house and they watch her like i would at my house. it is perfect for us! |

| If we ever have to board Katy. It will be with the people that she goes to daycare with. I would make sure that you can go back and visit. See where they keep them. Ours encourages you to do that. Katy loves to go there. She jumps down from the car, runs to the door and barks for Carol to open the door for her. If you are not fast enough to pick her up over the gate when she gets in the door, she jumps it. |

| Long time ago, all us girls went out. One the way home, bout 2am, one wanted to stop and see a girl that was working in one of the places that boards dogs in our city. I got to pet all the dogs and cats! I had more fun there, than I did partying earlier that night. Several dogs were running loose, having a blast, but most were in cages. But then again now, it was 2 am or so. |

| Thanks guys. I don't know if there are any daycares here or not. I just think that keeping her in a cage and letting her go potty there is going to sabotage my potty training. I know they will keep her in a cage a the vets. I better keep looking I had no idea the was such a thing as doggie daycare. Hey, Too bad I can't send her to NY.

| I know what you must be going through. We haven't had to board our girls yet, but came close. We ended up having a friend stay at the house & watch them. I'm to far south or I'd take care of Molly. |

| Connie K, where in Georgia are you? I live in Alpharetta and I found a great boarding facility in Buford. It's called Carrie's Canine. I drive 45 minutes to take my dogs there when they need to be boarded. They keep the dogs in 4' x 8' runs with their own little potty area in the back. They have a little playyard and take the dogs out several times during the day to play together. The girls that work there are great. It is the only place I have boarded my dogs where they don't come home sick because they are stressed out. They also take turns letting a few dogs come up front in the office with them for some extra attention. It is very reasonably priced too. They fill up quick though especially around the holidays. Let me know if you would like more info. The website is not working for me right now but here it is. http://www.carriescanine.com/grooming.htm |

| I live to far to go to Buford!!! I live 11 miles from AL straight out I-20. It would take me 2 hours to get there. I am going to call the lodge where we are staying to see if I crate her if we can bring her. If she is going to be in a cage all day any way atleast I could go back every couple of hours. We will see. I am still looking for a day care. I don't want to leave my baby!!!!!!!

| Are you too far from Mobile, AL? I have 2 yorkies, Venus and Adonis. Venus is 4-1/2 months old, and I'm still working on the potty training, whats another yorkie? lol I have been pad training Venus, but she also goes outside with Adonis. Seems she likes to poop out back, and pee on the pads. Adonis is 6 years old, but still loves to play. |

| Brenda That sure is a sweet offer. Isn't Mobile In south AL. I am straight east of Birmingham. I am right in between there and atlanta. I am heading to south Georgia for my husbands family. It is near Dothan. I called two places today. One has a 4x4 inside cage with a 6 foot outside run. The other hasn't called back. I am just trying to figure it all out. I still need to call the lodge. They my let me bring her. I have seen some places that you can bring your dog if it is under 10lbs. Aw heck I'll just hide her in my purse. Does 9 dollars a day sound right for the price? Well thanks for all the offers. You guys are the sweetest!!!!!
