Sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.<br /><br />If you don't find a daycare, will Todd have to spend the whole day at home crated?<br /><br />Jed & AbbyJed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-75052496400876107222012-03-16T23:44:12.490-04:002012-03-16T23:44:12.490-04:00I think one important factor is to see how they tr...I think one important factor is to see how they treat Todd and all the dogs. Some people are only in it for the money, but some really love dogs and they are so good to them. When we lived in Missouri, we ran a boarding kennel and sometimes daycare for the dogs. Even though they stayed separate from other dogs, they were in dog runs right next to each other. We also had a play yard where we socialized some of them that obviously would get along. We took them for long walks around our property, we spent many hours just playing with them and loving them. Most of our dogs came back over and over. The owners said that their dogs would start getting excited when they came down our road. I think it was the love.Ellenhttp://injoyinmylife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-866229467258612212012-03-16T16:21:47.241-04:002012-03-16T16:21:47.241-04:00WOW That one spa looks like for the rich and famou...WOW That one spa looks like for the rich and famous.

She spends nice mornings out of doors or we are walking, and after that she comes in and hits the bed. She snoozes for at least 2 hours am, and a couple more later in the afternoon. So I wouldn't be alarmed if she were in a cage for that much time during the day. How much does Todd sleep during the day? Stella is five so maybe she is older and needs more sleep. <br /><br />Good luck in finding the right spot!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JoJo's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07004590496962477481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-59999946466481358912012-03-15T19:20:33.411-04:002012-03-15T19:20:33.411-04:00NO one knows Todd better than you do!
