Be careful of boarding facilities. We've not had good luck with them, even the ones that look clean and responsible. Our trip to Europe cost us another approx. $800 in vet bills when we got home and had 3 sick dogs to contend with. Not to mention the extra work caused by their illnesses and the emotional fustration and fears for their health. This is the third time they have come home sick from different facilities.
Next time, we may try to find a friend who can help us and avoid boarding. The benefits of not putting your pets in a boarding situation may outweigh the inconveniences you are dealing with now.
Hope they get home soon!!!

I agree with Marilyn. It could definitely be the boyfriend causing the problems, especially if you've never had this kind of thing happen before in your friendship. Is there anyone else who could take care of your dog if you have to go out of town? Sounds like a boarding facility might not be a good option either, but if you had another friend or relative care for your dog, your friendship with this person might be less strained. Good luck!
