I am wondering what would be the best option for our dog.
She is a 2 year old rescue (found as a stray) - very bonded with us now, but definitely has some abandonment issues.
We are going away in half term, for a week, and we can take her with us, or we can leave her in kennels.
cost is more or less the same.
I am just wondering what is best for her.
Coming with us: 7 hour car journey - 4 hours on ferry in kennels (plus waiting to get on and off the boat) - another hour drive. (and the reverse on the way back) We are visiting family so she would be very welcome, but the garden isn't secure so she wouldn't be able to run outside freely.
she is our first dog, never done a journey like that with her - no idea how she would cope.
or:
leave her in kennels - she has stayed there before - twice, just for a couple of nights, so she knows when she is there, we come back for her - but 7 nights seems like a long time - I am worried she would find that long really hard.
They are a great kennels - three walks a day - outside play etc - but in the end its seven days of being without us, and sleeping on her own every night.
What do you think would be the best option for her?
