So Dad and Pa had to go on thier twice-yearly church retreat- this one is called "Spring Mysteries Festival" put on by the Aquarian Tabernacle Church. (
http://www.aquariantabernaclechurch.org/spring-mysteries-festival It is a wiccan based church that accepts people of all faiths and runs two festivals a year- this one and 'Hecate's Sickle Festival' in the fall:

I was not QUITE ready to go along and participate myself... and they were both Cast/Staff-ish people, so were gunna be busy a LOT... so they left me at the Doggie Day Spa!! YAAAAYYY!! I loves it there!!
http://www.paradisepetlodge.com/ They give you a 'pet report card' when you leave, and it tells your peoples just how you behaved (or if you didn't!!)... mine was a VERY good report card!!
I love my kennel there- half of it is indoors, so I can lounge around or play comfortably- and half of it is outdoors, so I can run around madly and bark if I want to! ...but I was not too happy with going potty on the FLOOR of the kennel. I was all 'uhm... no. grass is for pottying, floor is for staying clean.'
They took me on nature trail walks, potty walks... and I was much much better this time than ever before!! I did all my business on my walks, and I didn't scarf my food, I ate slow all day long... and I was very friendly!
Under notes, my caretaker said "Great Dog! Very Playful!!" It made Pa and Dad LAUGH and SMILE... and she added her own note: "LOVE HER!!"
YAY!! I loves them too!!!
Paradise Pet Lodge gets the Cora stamp of approval, for SURE!
Ya know who ELSE does???
Pa's MOM!!!
One of our friends promised to pay my kennel bill for them because it was the only way they could go to the Festival... Pa and Dad are super broke, and even at risk of losing thier electricity or paying rent this month... and she said she would pay it for them. ...but then she didn't. ....that was going to be a BIG problem, cause it was a LONG stay... and if they can't pay, they can't have me BACK... and the bill would have kept growing! EEK!
Pa's MOM donated to me, the EXACT amount that was needed to bail me outta the Kennel!!
OH I LOVES HER NOW!!
*lick lick lick*
She has never met me in person, but here she paid for my happy doggie vacation, and better yet, my bail-out so I could go HOME!!!
That's a lot of money, and Pa and Dad are VERY Grateful.
I am just SUPER happy!
Everything is good again. I am Home, they are Home... and all is as it should be.
YAY!
