If you read my previous post, then you know Maya had her first doggy day care experience this weekend. It was really hard to leave her, but I knew she would be fine at the one I ended up picking. So we packed up her bed, food, and some toys and headed out on Saturday morning. She was fine when we walked in, but it wasn't long before she figured out that I would be leaving without her.
Since Maya was refusing to leave with their staff, they had me walk her to her "suite." They had offered her a treat when we got there, but Maya had refused to take it from them. I had taken it for her, and when we got to her "suite," I set it down in the back and walked out, hoping to convince her to go in. She looked at the treat, then up at me, ran into the room and grabbed the treat, and ran back out with it in her mouth! She eventually did go into her room, but she wasn't happy about it.
I picked her up the following day. A staff member went to get her as I was paying the bill and going over her report card. They told me she hadn't really eaten, but everything else had been fine -- she played well with two other small dogs and went on a total of 5 walks with a lot of exploring. They all said they loved her and she listened/obeyed commands very well, was super sweet, and incredibly cute.
When we got home (finally!), she grabbed a bite to eat and then was out. She slept for hours, the way she only does when I've completely worn her out with a really long walk or lots of playing. I figure she either didn't sleep all night, or they completely wore her out. I'm hoping it was the latter and she had a really good time. I hope I don't have to leave her anywhere again, but I'm sure I will eventually. At least now I know she'll have a good time and will be well taken care of.
