My two cents, for what it's worth **Sigh** Well, here's my story. We moved to Houston about two years ago. We have family in MA, so we have to fly often and I board our female Yorkie. The place is called Barkington Inn...very posh and expensive. My precious little girl has stayed there for the last time. I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, but each time I went to pick her up, they had to bathe her first! WHAT??? We rush home from the airport to get to her (I miss her terribly), they know when we'll be arriving and she's too dirty to come home? Yep! We've had to go home, unpack, and go back for her in an hour or so. Anyway, it makes me wonder if my little girl has been in her own mess for the whole time I've been gone. How are you to know? I resent it very much...they say, "We won't charge you for the bath!" You're darned right you won't! I don't take my dog there looking like that, and I expect to pick her up looking the same way I dropped her off. All I have to say is be careful! I've got a great neighbor who has now offered to keep her (and our new puppy) whenever we have to go out of town. |
