I've got a houseful of beasties but we don’t board them -- we either get a house sitter or have a neighbor feed and cuddle them in our absence. Anyone who has left this important matter till the last “minute needs their head examined. It would be a frosty Friday when I'd take a chance leaving my beloved pets to some outfit who could fit them in on short notice. The good places book well in advance so get cracking if you're leaving in the New Year.
