She treats Snick like her 2 dogs, part of the family, never crated, and loved to bits. Check it out for sure, you might find something similar in your area, times are tough and people need cash so many are doing this for extra money...click on "pets" at the top and search "sitter" or "boarding" or "border."
Good luck babes...boarding at a public facility makes me sad as well!!

Thanks for the Craig's List suggestion. We're too far out in the booneys so I don't know that I could find one in my area, but I bet I could in Minneapolis! I don't think I have enough time to do the research (plus I would have to meet them, check references, etc..I would never leave them with someone I didn't know) for it to work this time, but I may look into it in the future. We have a lot of friends & family who have oferred to help in the past, but I can't find anyone for this weekend (probably because most family are at the wedding, on vacations, etc). I am going to board them at the kennel, as I did go there to check it out. The place is fine, but it's a kennel...just not the homey atmosphere that I want, and my babies won't get their snuggles, hugs & kisses (maybe it's just me who will miss that..I don't know...). I'm not excited about it, but I think it will be a better option for us next weekend. Thanks for the post!
