Kramer hates kennels

One of the problems when one has an domestic pet is that they need care 24/7, 365 days of each year and it is a bit restrictive when one wants to travel from home.

So with me in China, and MM wanting to go to a conference on the Gold Coast the issue of Kramer's care arose. There was an advertisement for some dog carers who take care of the animals in their home, just like a boarder. The people had previously had their own pets, but were without them at the time and decided to care for the pets of other people rather than get another one.

So Kramer when there for a few days. I think he was very spoiled - in any case, he returned home safely and not as stressed as he usually does coming from the kennels.

A new solution has arisen. It is a little more expensive than kennels, plus we had to provide his food, but the conditions are much more personal. And he liked it.
