Awwww. My parents' previous dog Rex LOVED the doggie hotel - it was totally playtime for him. The dog I grew up with was miserable in one because he thought we had abandoned him there when we went to a family reunion. So because of that, any time my parents would go on a trip, they would take Rex a few times just for the day so he wouldn't be afraid and know they would come back. It worked, because he had so much fun there. XD I helped her take him once, and he dragged me to go inside and see the other dogs (he was a big German shepherd).
