We have been leaving our dogs with Christie and Larry since I can't even remember when--at least through five generations of dogs. Our guys and girls always act like they are at home from the time they arrive in the parking lot. In fact, one of them is. Our Amstaff Rolf was from a Tolkien's litter. The love of Rolf's life, Alice, came to us through Christie who told my wife about this great dog an animal shelter in Kentucky had been hiding (she had been there six months--long past the time regulations allowed) because the staff couldn't bear to put her down. Alice was a great addition to our family and Rolf's Momma for eight years until she passed away. I can't imagine a better ""home away from home"" than Tolkiens.
