"ve depended on Patty for years now to care for my Bichons. They have always been happy to go for a visit to her place. On the way there, as the car gets closer to her house, they wag their tails; they then go with her willingly when it's time for me to say ""goodbye."" When I pick them up, the true test is their relaxed demeanor and non-stressed attitude. They are happy to see me, but not so overly-excited that I'm worried our time apart has gone poorly for them.
Yes, Patty has strict drop-off and pick-up hours, but I do not think them to be unreasonable due to the kind of business (out of her home) that she runs. And, yes, she has her quirks - but what true ""dog"" person doesn't? What's most important to me is that I know her home & back-yard are set-up to cater to well-loved pups. She (and her husband) are true dog-lovers and I know that my dogs are allowed to hop up on the furniture and get a good snuggle while I'm gone."
