Dog boarding at GSMNP

[Randy]

Hi,
I have talked to all three kennels listed in 2010 hikers companion. On the surface the Loving care kennels seem very nice. Does anyone have insight into these kennels? I am looking for a place that allows him the chance to play with other dogs and not be locked up 20 hours a day.
Thanks
Randy

This is totally off topic, but I couldn't help but share this...

Loving Care has a great reputation and can pick up at Fontana and drop off at Standing Bear Farm. You also might want to check with Standing Bear to see if they can watch your dog. I know Curtis and Maria were looking into boarding dogs last year. If they can, you will save a few bucks and your dog will be well cared for.

I've used Loving Care Kennels on four different occasions with the first time being in 1998and have been very pleased with the service. I trust her with my dog completely and wouldn't think twice about using another kennel; not that I have anything against other kennels. I hope you have a great hike with your dog.

This is my first year hosting man's best friend.
Here's a link to the housing that they'll have, look at the bottom of the page. That's my dog in the photo, his name is "Trooper".

My wife takes daily walks with Trooper, 2+ miles, and if you'd like your dog to go along that's fine with us.

Great pictures. A lot of thought went into that dog house. And you'll let the owner stay in the dog house too????--Kinnickinic

That's the idea!. It's heated, super insulated. I'm over 6' and can lay in them, no problem.

Is that foresite in case Maria makes you sleep in the doghouse?

Grrrrr....yea, you guessed correct. I'll be set with the plasma and cooler.
