A Paulie story.

Paulie and AveryChewing a toy that is NOT his.
Looking for a toy that is NOT his.

This post is mostly about Paulie. I usually keep the 'Paulie' stories for his own column...but this was just too much for a little area. This past weekend we went to Cape May with the C's to visit my parents for Father's Day. Since Paulie and my parent's dog, Reading, don't get along very well, we decided to shop around for a kennel for him. So, we did the good dog owner thing and asked around. Friends of ours recommended their kennel. Like good parents, we went to check it out before signing him up. We LOVED this kennel. The owner was awesome, it was clean and odor free. We signed Paulie up for three different vacations.

So, early Saturday morning Chris and CJ dropped of Paulie while the girls and I packed the car up for our trip. We spent Saturday and Sunday at the shore. We left Sunday afternoon for home and picked up Paulie. Here's where the story turns.....The owner pulled Chris aside and told him that Paulie doesn't like other dogs. He needs professional help...she give him some dog behaviorists' phone #'s. She also tells us that if Paulie's behavior and attitude don't improve during the July trip, he will not be welcome for our August trip. That's right, my dog is on probation from the kennel. Only my family.
