So this is a big week for us! With summer in full swing we are heading to Norris Lake this weekend with my family. I am so excited to be out on the water and enjoy the sunshine. We are staying at a super cute Airbnb on the water, however, there is one HUGE downfall… No dogs allowed 🙁
As you all know, I love taking Mason everywhere with me. And it honestly gives me anxiety not being with him… He is my comfort. Usually when we travel out of town Mason always stays at my parents, however, this time we are all going out of town. So Mason is getting boarded.
I am super nervous about this. Mason has been boarded before, but not in like two years and he has never been boarded here in Kentucky. Mason is so weird about meeting dogs on the leash and gets anxious in new places. I am hoping since my parents dog (Tessa) and two of my cousins’ dogs (Bennie and Hank) are all going to be boarded there as well, Mason might feel more at home.
I got him an upgraded room with a TV (I thought the noise might be comforting to him) and will also be bringing his favorite blanky and toy squirrel. I am not sure what else to do to make his stay this weekend go seamlessly as well as me not having to stress about him and enjoy our family lake trip.
I would LOVE any tips or tricks you all use for your pups when boarding them to eliminate their separation anxiety and to make them feel more at home.
Dog Mom Tip #19: Separation anxiety is a real thing for not only our furry friends, but also for us dog parents as well. Be sure to take the proper actions to make you both feel comfortable when apart.
I will be sure to update you all on how our weekend getaway goes with both us and Mason ♥
