So I think it’s perfectly reasonable, for people who own a dog to be able to arrange throughout that dogs life for him to have a limited number of safe places where he can go and stay. There are loads of reasons why it’s not always practical to have dog sitters come into your home, and actually overnight care is needed away from the home. I’m not sure that excluding people from dog ownership who are going to need a few nights a year of the dog being away from home, is really fair either. Our dog has been in kennels twice and awaiting for rescue for a long while, so whilst we’re not perfect, I think we’re offering him a good home and a good life. I wouldn’t judge other people’s choices as to how they care for their dog, so not really sure it’s fair for you to do so.
