It isBeautiful photos! Is that Barnard castle? Love the photo of sunset, camp dinner, bottle of wine, that's what it's all about
Barnard Castle is our favourite place. We always visit Durham whilst we are there too He does love a bit of Tea every now and thenSharing a cuppa with Koda.
My husband's RB family dog would only drink tea. Judy would turn her nose up at water unless out on a walk when she would drink from a muddy puddle.He does love a bit of Tea every now and then
Looks a lovely place. I've only been to Durham once when my BIL got married around 20 years ago. I'm ashamed to say this as my Grandad was a Geordie.A wonderful weekend, and back to our favourite place

Koda’s face is saying “it’s mine”. My face is saying you are welcome to it. Looks disgustingThat face……
Koda has decided that buffalo ears and chicken necks are his new favourite snack

. Enjoy 
it would appear that since my husband has been working from home our dogs get Bonio Friday! Although I messed it up this week as I bought pigs ears when I went to the pet shop the other day
He was certainly a chubby one, at 1700gWhat a gorgeous boy Loki was - love his chubby cheeks
What a big boyHe was certainly a chubby one, at 1700g
My boy Oscar is only 1050g, smaller than his wife Daisy at 1150g 
I don’t know what to do? 
He looks so happy! As much as it's a worry I think it would probably do you good to go away. You've had a tough time and before you know it the academic year will be starting again, have some time for you and your husband doing something you enjoy. Koda looks like he was happy there, do it once and see how he gets on.So Koda absolutely loved his time at the day care/boarding we tried him at. He loves playing with his buddies! They got lots of pics of him. And a video.
The staff were lovely and I could watch him all day on CCTV via my phone (log on to check on him at any point whilst we weren’t there). They said he settled right in (like he had always been there) and made friends with everyone; apart from a small dog that took a dislike to him (not Koda’s fault), so they removed the small dog to another pack. They said he played happily all day.
They don’t have kennels there for boarding, they have individual rooms with beds and TVs. They follow your dogs diet etc. They make the rooms as homely as possible with human beds in.
The only problem is there is no CCTV in the rooms, so I wouldn’t be able to check on him at night if we do board him for a few days. I can only watch him during the day.
They also put lots of pics and videos on their Facebook throughout the day. They also say that they do health checks twice a day and at midnight, and that if a dog doesn’t settle in their room, that they get them out and let them rest on the couch at night as there are staff there 24 hours a day.
I’m still so worried about the idea of boarding? I still worry that something will happen? Or he will get stolen? Or sent home to the wrong home?
maybe it’s just me over thinking as usual…
The place has 100s of excellent reviews. But I’m still unsure about the idea of boarding, and still thinking of cancelling our holiday

I think you maybe have to listen to your husband on this one, I hate leaving my boys at a Kennels, which are not as good as the one you have found, there is certainly no comforts like Koda will have, but I have done it and will do it again, we do take them on holiday but I personally feel it's not quite a holiday with them as actually it's me that still walks them, as everyone is on holiday so doesn't want to do it, one of mine is difficult, so I am always looking out for other dogs, crossing the road etc and never quite relax, now it's not anything like your gorgeous boy but sometimes I feel I'd like a holiday without them, the place you have found sounds great and the pictures, to me, show a happy, comfortable Koda. You can't not do things because of having him, you give him the best life but sometimes you need to look after you.....
