Mom and Dad are going on vacation. “That is easy now when we don’t have a dog,” said Dad, ”we can just leave when we feel for it, its quite comfortable to be dog free.”
“And much cheaper to not have to pay for dog boarding,” said Mom.
They are leaving the house empty; can you believe it! “Quite irresponsible,” said Zorro, “never leave your den unguarded”.
“Or the food bowl,” said Loba.
Boarding is a very bad Earth memory. When my family needed to travel overseas, they did not bring me. Not that I wanted to go anyway. I voted for everyone staying at home all the time, but nobody was listening.
Boarding kennels are not my style. I know, some dogs say they are ok, that they meet new friends etc, even wag their tails when going to boarding kennel, but for me, NO, NO, NO! The dogs are noisy and threatening and I am a pet, I hate the degradation of boarding. Like that little cage is replacing my HOME. Sometimes I wondered why I was in jail? What had I done? Was snatching a piece of meat from Dads plate really such a crime? And I never knew for how long I would stay.
Boarding is the one grudge I hold toward my family. What were they thinking?
After I got sick from boarding once, my family hired a lady to stay with me in the house when they travelled. It was not that fun because she was not my family and she mostly worked on her computer, but a lot better than boarding. I do not like vacations; glad I am in Heaven now and don’t have to deal with the interruption of my routines. No horrible boarding jails, no strangers living in our house.
