Togetherness at the Kennel

So, I'm still a little rusty at taking pictures...bare with me...

From left to right, meet Sadie, Twinkie and Gizmo. These little characters all live together in the same home. When they come to the kennel, they all huddle up in their crate, pouring out like a wave when it's time to go outside.

Some kennels do not permit dogs with the same owner to stay together. There are reasons for this that I understand - no fights over food, no fights in general. However, that has happened very rarely here and in nearly every case, dogs who can stay together (as they do at home), handle the kenneling experience very well.

In general, we've become a highly individualistic society. I understand this. Completely. I love to have alone time. Being in relationships with others is complicated and things can get messy. But, we are called to live in community. It's for our benefit, and the benefit of others, that we build and maintain relationships, even if we don't want to do so. It makes bearing our life experience a little better!
