...please join us in telling summer stories from your pets perspective!

My folks don't go away very much because they can't stand to be away from me for long. I make Mom sad when she takes me to the boarding place so they can go somewhere else. She thinks I hate it because I tremble in the car all the way, but there are lots of friends to talk to when I get there.

The first time I went, this lady asked Mom if I knew how to use a doggie door. What? Does she think I'm stupid? I could tell right away there was something more fun on the other side of that contraption, and the minute they closed the door to my room, I checked it out. Yep! Some cute little Spaniel was outside, just the other side of that fence.

I always make new friends, but I still don't let Mom and Dad know I'll be okay when they go off and leave me. I just got home from 'there' again Sunday, and I can tell it will be a while before I have to go back again.

Hey Roscoe...So glad you survived the kennel. The only time my folks put me in one they also asked that I be "groomed" (for the first time) It was humiliating...when they picked me up I had these little bows in my hair...all this girly girl stuff....I've never been the same...

Tell your mom that mine will send a freepmail shortly.

LOL! Roscoe, I also shake all the way to the kennel whenever my parents go out of town. That's one of the reasons they hired a dogsitter to come by to feed and play with me while they were gone for a few days last weekend.

I immediately went on one of my hunger strikes the way I do everytime they go out of town, mom had a backup plan though and had left some deboned KFC chicken in the fridge for the sitter to feed me just in case. I'm a sucker for chicken (tastes just like rabbit).

Got so lonely I perfected chasing my tail while they were gone and can actually catch it now!
Have been giving mom the cold shoulder since they returned, I know it's all her fault that they ever left! I'm starting to warm up a little to her now.
