This is Shayla in her new orthopedic bed. Her cat Stanley has moved in with her. Stanley showed up at our door a couple of years ago during brutally cold temperatures and decided that we are his family. He withstood the humiliation of being sniffed and pushed by our two dogs for the first hour of his arrival; then, it was like he had been with us forever...
In order to board my Husky at a local "pet hotel" when I go on vacation next week, he has to go through an interview. If he is accepted, he gets to join their snobby club of kennel dogs.
Normally, I'm the one vetting (No pun intended) the boarding facility and staff to make sure the people who work there are friendly and knowledgeable about my Siberian Husky's particular needs.
