I don't want to hear the reasoning behind banning the pit bulls and mixes.... I know and fully understand the ignorance.. but this is my rant, so let me.
Buddy now has to go to a boarding kennel while my husband and I take our trip. It's a short trip, 4 days, and our petsitter bailed on us. So, frantically I'm calling around to pet sitting agencies, boarding kennels, etc.. We call Petsmart and their doggie hotel is great. So, I thought, why not? We go to see the facilities and to be honest, they looked awesome. The dogs have their own "rooms" either an atrium or a suite and you pick packages as to what you want your dog doing all day, etc..
Well, I wanted Buddy to have doggie day camp, which is 7 hours of play time. BUT, pit bulls and pit mixes are banned from doggie day camp. It really upset me, but there's not much I can do about it. Rules are rules. Instead, he'll get one on one play time 4 times a day, which is better than nothing.
The overnight petsitters that we called, would only stay from 7p-7a, or 9p-9a, which would leave Buddy in his crate ALL day, even if I "ordered" a drop in service, which would only last 45 minutes. Although we are getting that drop in service for our cat and our rats. Can't forget those guys.
