Now here's a quandary. We've booked to go to a couple of Provincial Parks out of our immediate region, without the Tadpoles, but do we take the hound?
She's no great trouble when we're camping but she is a little limiting. We can't, for instance, wander into a little restaurant somewhere, nor a museum or a shop, at least not without one of us standing outside with the darling doggie. On the other hand, is it harsh to put her in kennels whilst we're out gallivanting?
On balance, and knowing that we have a very good boarding kennel close by, we've decided to go dogless. Sure, it's not a cheap option, but Willow's previous stays at Fargo Ridge have been successful, and she is deemed to be a star by the owner, Mary-Lou, and her kennel team.
So, Willow gets to visit Mary-Lou for a week whilst we get some unfettered adult time in our lovely Towed Haul. I may not be so sanguine as I drop the hound at her hotel, but it is for the best.
What do others do with their hounds?
