Doggie Report Card
Posted December 21st, 2009 by Kimberly DowdWhile WM and I were in Michigan over Thanksgiving, the pooches were in the kennel, getting treats and scritches. We get them a larger kennel that accommodates them both so they can snuggle when they feel lonely. And despite what a lady at our hotel said (“I could NEVER kennel my dogs, how cruel!”) when we take them to the kennel, they don’t look back. When we pick them up, they lick and cuddle against the staff behind the counter.
Here’s their “report card” from their last stay.

None of this surprises me. Max (I can’t believe he’s 7-8 years old already!) loves to be pet and snuggled. He’s my lap dog. Ollie (I wonder if he answered at all to “Oliver” while there since he never hears it at home.) will fetch and fetch until he drops over from exhaustion. Fetching is his job.
I also love the “I was a little messy” part. Atta boys. You trash that hotel room.

So, if I am reding the reportcard correctly, your dogs had better continental breakfast options at a kennel than I have had in all but the most expensive of hotels. I think I might need to ammend my lodging plans for my next vacation.
P.S. I’m more into belly rubs and squeaky toys, but will most likely be deemed ‘a little messy’, as well.

Wow, my spelling and grammar are terrible before I’ve had the morning coffee.

Hi Kim, I just noticed a spelling error on the online ad for Susan Hughes. Poor Susan is now listed as “Huges” I don’t know if that refers to her or her patients.
Happy New Year to you and WM

Oh, good gravy. That’s what happens when you outsource work. Bah. Happy New Year to Chez G!
