Going to Camp

We attended a two day bible seminar the last weekend of December. They were full days of upbuilding talks and demonstrations of the practical application of bible principles. It meant we would be out of the house longer than 8 hours. The longest we have left Rio at home was about 6 hours. He did fine but we didn't want him to have to hold his bladder until we got home. So we arranged for him to go to camp.

Camp Bow Wow that is. Basically it is doggie day care. A new franchise opened up near our home last month. We went to the open house and Rio was so excited to be there. Later that week we left him there for 3 hours to see how he would do. Apparently he played well with the other campers. Yay!

We arranged to drop Rio off on Saturday morning and we picked him up Sunday night. The camp staff took care of feeding him and giving him his medicine. He had other dogs to play with to keep him occupied during the day. When Grant dropped him off he was so excited to be there he was pulling on the leash to get inside.

We upgraded him to a private suite for the night. They have web cameras that allow owners to check up on their dogs while they are away. We were able to snap a few pictures of him in his room. He seemed to be doing well. It's nice to know we have a place to board him for a few days when we can't take him with us.
