Back when the kids were still living at home, we would pay maybe $140 to board our pooch for a week, when we went on vacation. My kid said in July when she takes her Alaska cruise, she's paying $1400 to board two dogs for 12 days. I offered to do it for 1/2 that price, but wife screw that shit, we aint stressin the cats for 2 weeks. There went my seed money for the next 5 years, lol.
