[SophieKatesMom]

I know when I board SophieKate she does get the extra walks and she gets a lot of attention. In our case it might be because we board there a lot (when I travel for business which is at least once a month) but SophieKate gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot.

I think you made a good choice and if you have an uneasy feeling while gone call them and ask how Ian is doing.
