Dogs at Disneyland

We took Blue to Disneyland!

This was a good and bad experience. We didn’t want to leave the puppy in a kennel overnight so we did some research and found out that Disneyland has an on-site kennel. We figured since Disneyland does everything with the utmost of hospitality in mind, the kennel must be inviting too.

Not so much. In fact, it was kind of scary.

The kennel at Disneyland is more like a prison than the modern-day dog sitting accommodations we’ve become used to. The kennel is adjacent to the entrance of the park. It is two rooms full of dogs in cages. Tiny, little, can-barley-shove-a-Lab-inside cages. And, there is no yard. No dog run. Just a square area with rocks and a red, plastic fire hydrant next to a bench. This is where your dog goes to the bathroom when YOU come back to let your dog out.

Yeah, the whole thing is a little weird. Long story short, we had Blue stay there for the morning but then our guilt kicked in so we took him into the park, danced a little, then and left.  We figured there were only so many hours in the day that he can sleep.

Here’s a few more pictures…

(Yes, I know this looks like he’s happy. This picture was taken BEFORE he met the kennel.)

(Happy puppy leaving the park with Daddy.)
