Hi all!

Wow...time really flies. My sister's now married

I did manage to look for a place for my dog. I was actually thinking of putting her up at The Pet Hotel. My cousin recommended me the place.

But on my way out I met this lady and she recommended me another place just opposite it. It's called Mutts and Mittens. She said although she has 9 dogs at The Pet Hotel, she says Mutts and Mittens provides better care for the dogs. But they couldn't give her a discounted rate thus she didn't put her dogs with them.

I did visit The Pet Hotel to check out the place...very professional, my dog wasn't allowed into the boarding area as she's not "bathed" yet. I did get a peek at the boarding area. Not too bad, the dogs have their own living quaters and a back yard. But very noisy...smell none.

I didn't get to check out Mutts and Mittens, a check for the website drew a blank. (The Pet Hotel had one) I only found out that the owner is very kind and it's also an animal shelter from posts in other websites. I called the owner : Cohen, very nice man. Actually advised that I go down to his place and have a look before deciding. But I was running out of time and my weekends were packed so couldn't really go down. Decided to take my chances, and made a booking with them.

Brought Chilli (my JRT) there on the 2nd Dec. Checking in "lobby" had a few dogs there. One of the dog became possessive of me and didn't allow Chilli near me. Kinda hillarious.

Chilli's room was clean, she didn't have a neighbour so she had the "shared" backyard to herself. Barked when I left the place. But when I collected her on the 5th, she was having fun in the lobby with other dogs. Didn't even realised I stepped into the lobby until I whistled. Glad she could mix with other dogs...she never really did although I bring her out quite often to meet other dogs. She always shy away from them but I guess this place did it. Cohen said she didn't mix much on first day only.

Price...same as The Pet Hotel. But I like Mutts and Mittens staff better. So I highly recommend the place. They do need volunteers for dog walking. So if you have the time, go check out the place.
