Anybody want to trade dog boarding or care? (Thanksgiving for Christmas)

[Roy Pardee]

Hey All,

This is a long-shot, but I figured I'd give you all a try.  The
neighbor who has always taken our dogs when we were away has flaked
out on us. :(  (She's got an elderly cat that runs away when our guys
come over & doesn't want to do that to her anymore).

We're going away for Christmas, but are home for T-giving.  We have 2
dogs, 3.5 year old Kodos (a newf) & 1.5 year old Chai (mixed breed).
Both are well-behaved, apart from the cat-chasing.

Would any of you kind folks be interested in maybe trading either
boarding or periodic home visits?  It wouldn't have to be T-giving of
course--could be an unspecified future vacation...

(Looks like Judith Belle's place is full-up already for both major holidays! :()

Many thanks!

-Roy
