Well, although I enjoyed his company last week while he stayed with me, Mr. Hobbs will be staying in Charlotte at the kennel. I hated to do it, but I felt that I was just asking too much of the fella. I live about 30 minutes to 1 hour away from work, depending on traffic, which means that he had to stay in his crate for about 9 or 10 hours, which, in my opinion, was just too much.
So, since there is not anyone to watch him here, or let him out for me, I just had to board him. I’ll miss his company, to be sure, but I think that it’s best for the pup.
He was a right sporting traveling companion and it was nice to scratch his head on the way there and back, but I had to do what was best for the pup.

I know that you will miss each other. Too bad it couldn’t work.
I’m sad for both of you. I can imagine how difficult this was for you. I’m not sure whether this is mostly “poor Hobbs” or “poor Paul”. All those of us who love animals are feeling the tug in your heart.
I can imagine how hard it was to leave Hobbs in the kennel but I would have made the same choice. That was to much crate time.
@All: Yeah, it was tough but it’s a good kennel and he gets play time outside twice a day. He always seems excited to go when he gets there. Of course, when I pick him up he’ll give me the silent treatment for a while, then will be back to his usual playful and, sometimes, cantankerous self!
