Dropping him off for vacation
Today our family had separate logistical plans:
Brian's drove from Trinidad, CO to Denver,
I flew from Boston to Denver,
the cats stayed home, and
Tailor went to a dog hotel.
I researched about 30 different dog resorts to find a great one for Tailor. My first two picks were already booked, but my 3rd choice was available. They have doggy daycare so Tailor can spend his entire day with dogs. They had been around for over 20 years. They are outside of the city in a quiet, rural area. They love dogs.
When I dropped Tailor off, I gave the employee directions: "Tailor's toys, treats and food are in this bag. He needs to be fed this food 3x per day and I separated the food into individual serving bags to make it easy." The girl tilted her head, looked at her colleague and said, "Do we feed 3x per day?" Immediately I thought I'd need to pull Tailor out and cancel our trip. Any place not willing to feed a puppy 3x a day is the wrong place to be. Apparently she was new b/c her more well seasoned colleague responded, "Of course we do. Puppies need to be fed 3x daily." Whew, looks like I could still go on my trip. I asked them to bathe Tailor on the last day and they quoted me $32 since he's a short-haired puppy and she noted that it will cost $38 once he's an adult. Excellent.
While driving home I called Brian. "I dropped him off. He's gone and I miss him already. What do you think he's doing (this would become my common question all weekend)?" Brian knew what to say, "He's playing with the other puppies and having a blast. Don't worry, he'll love his vacation, will be so tired from playing, and will be excited to see you when you return."
