Took my sweet rescue, MJ, to The Dog Ranch Resort in Daphne for her 'temperament test.' Some man…read morewho was not very welcoming to me or MJ, just grabbed the leash, disappeared into the back like he was running a top-secret CIA operation, then returned two minutes later to inform me she had failed. Failed what, exactly? Standing there looking adorable? His reasoning was she didn't approach their 'test dog.' Now, I don't know about you, but I was raised to believe it's actually polite NOT to run up to strangers uninvited. Maybe MJ just has better manners than the average dog? Sorry she didn't charge in for a meet-and-greet like a politician at a county fair. Now, MJ is a rescue, and she is cautious, but she is also the most loving, sock-stealing, cuddle-demanding dog you'll ever meet. Fortunately, we took our business to The Palms Dog Resort, where they actually met MJ, treated her with kindness, and now she loves going there. Attaching some pictures so you can see what Dog Ranch considers "unfit" to be around others--spoiler alert: she's basically a teddy bear with four legs.

My cats and dog have received the attention I requested. I receive daily updates with pictures. I appreciated the meet and greet appointment before my first pet sitting appointment so that we could walk through my house and become familiar with my pets and where things are located. Very thorough, very attentive, very professional!

When I picked him up, he had this huge gash just above his eye. No one called to tell me about it. When I got him home, I noticed his eyes were gooey and looked infected. I was worried he had a corneal abrasion. I took him to the vet the next day. He had bilateral eye infections, bilateral ear infections, an infection under his chin and the vet treated his gash above the eye. Not to mention he lost NINE pounds!! He also slept for 12 hours straight. He seemed traumatized. $171 vet bill. He has been to different camps for even longer periods of time, and I have never experienced this mistreatment of my dog. I tried calling the owner Holly, but she was out of town I was told. We did communicate via email, and she agreed to pay $65 for part of the vet bill. She said the infections were not from her facility. It is conjunctivitis! Its highly contagious! Of course, it was from them. Holly should have communicated what was going on with my dog. The infection in the eyes was obvious. They wiped his eyes when I got there. Holly, you need to communicate with the owners better. See the pictures attached. They were taken as soon as we got home.

It is not only reassuring, but fun when you are away to see your own happy hound (and bird). Mariah has spent many nights at our house, snuggling with our girl Annie and chatting with our little cockatiel, Gus. We totally trusted her with our elderly dog Sam O'Malley, who needed extra special attention and medications. Her kindness, concern, and absolute reliability have made it possible for us to go away for the day, and even on a ten day vacation to Ireland. We would never have taken that trip without knowing that Happy Hound was there for our family. Thank you!
