Will and I recently went out of town and boarded the doggies at a new vet clinic.
 
We opted to use this new place because we hate the other clinic in town because they are more exclusive about the dogs they board and it’s mainly just a thing they do on the side for a small group of people. We figured this would be good for the babies, all 4 of them, to ensure they got proper care and hopefully had somewhat of a better experience than at the previous kennel where there’s a million barking dogs and hissing cats around the clock.

Plus, who doesnt like to be part of an “elite” group?

Yes I realize we are talking about my dogs but I’ll take what I can get.
 
We tested the waters a couple of months ago by boarding Rocky and Teddy there while Will and I took a trip to Branson with his family. It worked out seemingly great and there were no issues. In fact, it seemed like they really liked Rocky and Teddy. What’s not to love right!?
 
Well, this past time we ended up having to board all 4, which was a first. Boz and Lucy don’t do very well away from home. They’re annoying spoiled companion dogs and will let you know it by barking all.the.time. They’re the dogs you love to hate.
 
Or  maybe they’re the dogs you hate to love.
 
Ha- who am I kidding. They’re annoying. I know it. But they’re just so darn cute!
 
Do THESE dogs look like they’re spoiled bark-y terrors? I think not!
 

 
Anyway- let’s get back to the matter at hand. When the Littles start barking it becomes a whole fiasco.
 
Then Teddy gets started.
 
And then it’s pretty much a deafening symphonic of various barking ranges the entire time we’re away.
 
Or so we’ve been told.
 
I think they’re lying.
 
But that’s because I’m in denial.
 
We went to pick all of them up the other day and the lady seemed quiet frazzled. Which made me laugh considering I knew it was because of Boz and Lucy. Tiny little teacups that weigh less than a bag of sugar. How much havoc could they wreak!? Are you telling me that YOU, a grown adult couldn’t control two Coke cans? Heh heh. Weak.
 
We got the dogs and she had nice things to say about Rocky and Teddy, as usual, but for some reason she had nothing to say at all about the Littles. I can’t imagine why (ha).
 
As we paid, Will looked our chart that was near him and noticed it said the following, “Dogs very bark-y. Not sure if this is going to work.”
 
So yeah, we’re pretty much blacklisted from this new place, largely in part to our tiny terrors.
 
So much for that. We might as well take a huge black Sharpee and X ourselves off their list of boarders.
 
Because I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what the old lady did as we walked out that day. Right after she opened up her bottom drawer, pulled the shiny flask out, and chugged the whole thing. Our dogs seem to have that affect on vet clinics.
 
All I know is that with dogs like these, we’re going to be excellent parents one day.
