no i did have a place for them to stay. i was going to leave them at the boarding facility where i know the owner. but the prices have gone up drastically and i just found out this morning so now i dont know what to do because leaving my dogs at the kennel would cost me about a grand. so i am exploring all of my options before i make a decision to what i will do.. so no its not irresonible.. things happen and i wouldnt leave my dogs with someone untrustworthy or a kennel i dont feel comfortable with.
