A big thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to write and tell me how you handled your dogs when you go to shows. You all pretty much agreed that leaving my stay-at-home dogs with a 13-year old neighbor was not a good idea. And that was my gut feeling, also. I would love to buy a travel trailer so that I could take them all with me, but unfortunately, that is not a possibility this year. Maybe next year! I think my best option is to hire a professional "pet sitter" to come in several times a day. If I can't find one, then, they will be going to a local kennel even though the price of their boarding will definitely determine how many shows I can attend. As always, you came through for me with your expertise and experiences. Thank you! Pat Castle Kennels, Ltd.
