Sally,
I have not boarded your dog and the last time you came to see me was in 2005. Your dog never ran loose from my place. He was only here for grooming. I did not let him outside.
We have 2 other groomers here in the neighborhood and one person who boards dogs who is a lady.
I think you have me mixed up with someone else.
All dogs here are kept behind 2-3 doors. Back in 2005, your pet stayed in my grooming room behind double french doors with the front door locked. I'm not sure what you are talking about.
I've managed one of the largest boarding facilities in the midwest and we always kept our dogs on leashes or behind double doors.
To the other owner regarding boarding: The rules are: once an owner comes into my home and opens up the grooming room door to get their dog, it becomes your responsibility to keep your dog on a leash and make sure that he doesn't get away. You didn't put your dog on a leash and you left my front door standing wide open. If you knew your dog would run, why didn't you shut the door behind you and put the leash on in the grooming room with the door shut? You were there. It isn't like I was on my own with your dog and he got away. You need to take responsibility for your own dog.
