We’ve used the identical boarding facility since we obtained the canines right here in Georgia. They’re completely superb. And that has been rewarded with super progress.
Ya’ll would giggle in case you heard the proprietor and my current dialog about variety of canines. Once we began utilizing them, they have been a married couple who each labored within the medical area and boarded canines on the facet and bred French Bulldogs.
Right here we’re 7-8 years later, they’ve develop exponentially, a lot in order that it’s now the husband’s full time job. They’ve expanded their choices to incorporate grooming and doggy daycare. And so they’ve give up breeding canines and had two human kids.

I’ve 3-4 extra journeys between Georgia and Texas this yr:

- Might – Princess graduates and the household is all coming to city
- Jun-Aug – housesitting for Princess whereas she does orientation for her new job (initially this was required as a result of Jake lives along with her, however since he’s transferring to Texas that is only a chance)
- October – Magnificence will get married!
Whereas I don’t want 7 canines boarded any longer. I’ll have 1-2 with me. Having boarding time banked for these journeys might be tremendous useful particularly for Cali who’s my previous girl. She prefers to put within the solar and be fed fairly than journey round.
