Who's looking after your dog when you're on holiday

Post by Marian on Thu Apr 17, 2008 4:11 pm

In a couple of months the holidays are coming, so I was wondering who looks after your dog when you're on holiday.

During the holidays Shoei can stay at home. My parents are moving in and look after him. When we get home he's so spoiled tongue and a few pounds heavier of all the treats Big grin.

Staffy tel I know what you mean. I always have a hard time getting my parents to go to their own house when we are back. The first thing they ask is: are going again next year and may we "babysitt" again Big grin . They love Shoei so much and of course he loves them winking

Always take the dogs with us or don't go. It is actually getting easier to find places that will accept dogs although about 75% only take 1 pet. I heard the other day that Travelodge have started taking dogs at £10 per night sleeping in your room so I will be looking into this for the future.

No Molly, you're not the only strange one whew! . Me too. If my parents or friends couldn't look after Shoei I wouldn't go on holiday. We also have pics of him and I ring every 2-3 days to ask how he's doing tongue .
