There’s kennels and there’s kennels. Personally I would never use a ’kennel’ as the Dogs appear to be locked quite a lot of tie and our boy is very much an on the sofa and lots of fuss. We do however use what round here is labelled as a dog hotel or a home board so for once i am in agreevent. The whole Bertie is awful thing is the only time I am in the Meldrum corner as we have a similar looking lad !Also, whats wrong with putting a dog to kennels?
