I love how they pair them with their besties. They do this at the kennels where we leave Chewie too. OH collected him last time and he was a bit taken aback by how fond of Chewie they were. I mean, he's delightful... Anyway, a good sign!Thanks Sonia, yes Maxx is going to the local kennels. He must enjoy it because every time we drive up he practically jumps out of the car window to get in! We will miss him dreadfully and I do wish we had friends/family who could take care of him; but we don't so this is the best we can do. We book the maximum amount of playtime and they pair him with a dog of similar size and temperament as a 'room mate' so he will be fine.
