Yes it definitely is a problem. There’s not much choice here for boarding. It’s either my vet whom I do trust or a boarding place that I know nothing about. Plus there is a vet/boarding facility by the house where I work off and on but I don’t know them at all either.
Dogs should hamstring you more then you kids and there’re several reasons why -
They listen when you talk to them.
You don’t have to spend 100K+ to send them to college.
They don’t use all the hot water in the shower.
Weird music....
And last but not least a loyal canine doesn’t eat twice as much as you and your spouse do.
