I'm wondering if anyone here has boarded a pet at the WDW facilities and if so what your experience was. As a general question… if anyone here is a doggie psychologist… do you think it is better to leave a dog boarded at a place where they won't see you for 10 days, or at a place where you can see them every day but not for long? I'm wondering if it is more frustrating for the dog to see you every day but not actually be with you much than it would be if they just didn't see you at all. I'm probably thinking about this way too much. The dog is probably OK with anything as long as it is treated nicely and fed. But Kenzie is our new baby now that our daughter has gone off and gotten herself married and we worry about her!
