Okay sorry if this is a little long. I feel you guys need to know as much info as possible.
Im 16 years old right now and i live with my 3 friends, one is 17, one is 19, and one is 20. Me and my friends go up to vancouver ever summer for about 2 weeks in July. We hike, swim, etc. hikes sometimes last all day and even we often to all nighters. This year i wont be able to bring my 11 year old Staffie with me, she has come every year for the past 3 years, but her hips are getting very bad and she just doesnt have the stamina and agility to climb the hike trails. She will have to be staying behind. However, Ive had her sence she was four, and when something happens other then her regular rutine, she gets quite upset. She can get out of the solid plastic crates, the wire crates etc. Leaving her with a friend is an option but i will need something that she cant get out of because she will rip open a door to get somewhere. Normaly she comes shopping with me and everything. She is totaly fine in the car. What can i do about the separation anxiety? Do any of you know of a EXCELLENT boarding kennel, who wont mind the anxiety and also, she is a little timid of men when they pick something up, she wouldnt bite, shes backs up and puts fur up and avoids. (she was abused).
Also, this year i will be going with my atm 7 month old heeler male, my 3 six week old heeler puppies, my friends will have there5 year old lab,2 year old sheherd and 4 year old dobie. By next year the heelers should be able to hike and stuff right? No ill effects on joints or anything? Any think i should look out for? Thanks! Any extra tips would be great!!
We also often rent 4 horses and trail ride, and other stuff, for a few days.
