Marley'z Mum Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Hi all Havent been on here to ask a question for a while, my question is this, at the end of january my family and I are away for 9 - 10 days unfortunately we cant take the dog with us, so I have found what I believe to be a good boarding kennel for him to stay in...... for those who don't know me Marley is a 8 and half month old staffy x, he will be nine months old by the time he is in the kennel.... my concern is this, might be a slightly silly question, but up to 10days seems like a long time for a dog, I am slightly concerned he will forget us..... what are the chances he might forget us??

WreckitWhippet Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 He won't forget you and if you choose wisely, he'll be well looked after and have a good time. Just make sure you choose a kennel where the dogs do revive exercise and are not standing in the same pen day after day, in their own shit and still standing there while they hose it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I've had dogs remember me after 1 and 2 year absences. 10 days is nothing. However, after I left my dog at boarding kennel for several weeks - she recognised me and was pleased to see me but equally pleased to see the boarding kennel staff - which was good - I would have had to find a new boarding kennel if she hated them, but I was slightly jealous. However I don't make a big deal of greetings when I return from being away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di_dee1 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Yes 10 days is nothing. I had two 9 month old pups in one for about that length of time. Enjoy your time away. I did, knowing I could call if I wanted too and I was happy with how they would be cared for and their treatment. They were pleased to come home and all over the staff as they left, a good sign that they were happy enough there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Chances of him forgetting you/ ZERO!! You have bonded strongly with this boy- and put in HEAPS of work.... trust me , there is NO way he will forget you :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangerineDream Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 NO chance of him forgetting you - ever - - Tango goes to 'holiday camp' 2 - 3 times a year, and when we are O/S it's for up to 6 weeks at a time.....doesn't matter how long we are away, invariably the night before we get back he starts being an absolute pest whinging and carrying on.....and he's all over me like a rash as soon as he sees me.......

Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Marley'z Mum Any chance the boarding kennel staff could send you a text or email to let you know it's all good on the second day or something - I got one of those and it was hugely reassuring for me.
