I have a great boarding story. We always board our dogs at the Vet, as one of our yorkies had lupus and could not be vaccinated for rabies anymore. Our Vet has a gentleman who lives on the property. His name is Roger. I call him St. Roger, because anyone who can stand to listen my Yorkies yap non-stop when I am out of town is a SAINT!
Anywhooo - we left KC one January for Florida. An ice storm was on it's way to KC and we were one of the last planes that made it out of the airport. We had left our phone numbers with the vet clinic, as usual. We are sitting in our hotel room watching CNN talk about the terrible ice storm in KC and the vet tech calls us at the hotel. She explains they have lost power at the vet clinic so she was taking our dogs to her home. All dogs that were boarded there were going home with staff.
When I picked the dogs up when we returned to KC, she had a bunch of great stories to tell me about how my dogs acted in her home. To start with, she and her husband have HUGE dogs, dobermans, etc. She said her husband really didn't care for little dogs but after our dogs sat on his lap each night to watch TV - he started to enjoy their lap warming abilities. The best story was where they slept. Her son was away at college, so she put the dogs in his room to sleep at night and closed the door. Every morning when she went in to get then, they had completely unmade and rearranged the covers on the bed to make a "nest".
We still laugh about it! |
