Along the same - sort of - theme…….
We’ve been in a dilemma trying to work out how we were going to deal with Billie, our Boxer, while we’re away in Hawaii and then Bus Stop next year……
We have a great house/dog sitter couple that we’ve used previously but he’s now working fifo on the boats in WA and cannot commit.
With flights and accomodation booked for both events, we really needed a solution for the 4 weeks we’re away…..
Kim, no.2 son, found Dogwoods Country Kennels
https://dogwoods.com.au/
We drove out on Saturday for a meet and greet/assessment of Billie to see if she was suitable for this environment. The place is sensational !
Very dog savvy owners run a huge, fenced property that board dogs of all sizes.
Billie was introduced individually to the 27 dogs currently there, then in pairs, then 3’s and so on until she was allowed into the main paddock with her new found friends to find her place in the pack.
We walked around with all very happy dogs following us and Billie settled in extremely well.
Dogwoods also has a bore fed dam that the dogs can frolic in with plenty of shade.
They sleep in pairs so they’re never alone. 7am the dogs are out of their sleeping quarters and allowed to roam freely until dusk, when they are fed and bedded down.
So, Billie is booked in for our 6 day trip to Old Bar to make sure that it is suitable and, if so will be lodged there for our big trip/s next year……..
Oh, and all for $39 a day, food included.
Made us very happy to know Billie will be in a much better environment than the kennels/cells she’s been boarded in previously where she was only afforded an hour of exercise a day……..
