<p>Yeah! I'm glad Tucker will get to take the road trip with you. Lance will get to have special bonding with his grandparents and Tucker will get to have special bonding with his family. Have a safe and fun trip.</p>

<p>So happy to hear your bringing Tucker with. Thats so stressful wondering what your goin to do. Tucker will sure be happy with your decision to. I couldn't imagine the looke in his eyes if you were to drop him off somewhere and your heart would surly be sad. Now you can go on your trip and be happy and relieved and the whole family together.</p>

Aww, that is so sweet Joanna. Thank You Joanna, I told my husband today he is coming with us and he doesn't have any problem with that as we usually do bring them with us when we go out of town. :)

<p>Thank You for your advice, I appreciate it. The boarding place I have in mind does have daycare as well. I wouldn't want Tucker exposed to actual play time though, cause I would think that would up the chances of him bringing something home to Lance even more.</p>

<p>My initial thoughts were to bring Tucker with us, but for some reason my husband was wanting to board Tucker, which usually he also wants to bring the dogs wherever we go as well. They say you should always go with your instincts, why I let my husband to persuade me into thinking maybe we should board Tucker, I don't know. By writing this discussion though I am now totally 100 percent confident we should bring Tucker with us as I first thought. The vet doesn't even want Tucker at the groomers so what is going to make him want us to bring Tucker to a boarding place!? </p>

<p>Today we are celebrating Tuckers anniversary of being rescued six months ago today!!! He really is so calm and sweet, I wouldn't want to put him through more than he has been through already. For all he has been through you would never know it. The first night we had him, he seemed pretty darn comfortable and glad to be in a home and thankful. It did help that the volunteer at the shelter had him in her home a bit before he came to ours. </p> I also wish he could stay wit…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-09-06:1150197:Comment:12886372011-09-06T17:45:47.761ZJoanna, Rainy and Calvinhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/Joanna20

<p>I wish I had some good advice to give to you, but I am not sure hat would be best to do. My husband would never allow anyone to separate him from Calvin by any means, and now that I have started dialysis, I can't travel at all. I vote for you to take him with you if you can. I would imagine he would think he was being dumped off again, no matter how nice the facility is. But how do dogs think,…</p>

I want to address the behavioral aspect of your boarding Tucker. I am a behavioral counselor and work a lot with rescue dogs. Typically, it takes 30 days after rescuing a dog to think for them to think, "Maybe I'm staying here." 6 months for them to say, "Wow, I love my new home!!" My concern would be if you kennel him he would think you were abandoning him. He could have get some anxiety. Is this boarding place a daycare also?

I want to address the behavioral aspect of your boarding Tucker. I am a behavioral counselor and work a lot with rescue dogs. Typically, it takes 30 days after rescuing a dog to think for them to think, "Maybe I'm staying here." 6 months for them to say, "Wow, I love my new home!!" My concern would be if you kennel him he would think you were abandoning him. He could have get some anxiety. Is this boarding place a daycare also? If so, have him go once a week to familiarize him to the facility. He will be less anxious if he has been there before. And for sure he could bring home something. Most boarding and daycare facilities require proof of vaccinations and bordatella. We work with one here in Colorado Springs that houses some of our rescue dogs and none have ever contracted kennel cough. Not to say it couldn't happen. Good Luck in making your decision!
