Even though we've only had Topher since February, prior to that we had a terrier mix (25lbs) for 7 years who would never have been able to stand a boarding kennel..she was so attached to me...so either we didn't go on holidays or we took her with us. It does take extra planning (sometimes I think it's worse than travelling with an infant with all of the stuff you have to bring!!lol) but it's easier on them to be with you.
(There are some dogs who do okay in a boarding kennel situation, but I've yet to have a dog who could handle it).
