Flash Friday 55 - "Boarded"

We stared out into the cold night.
Bars between our freedom.

The food was slop and all we drank was the warm water
to quench our thirst.

We longed for freedom. For the warmth of our bed.
The coziness of home.

It was so noisy here...
We shouted...Why did you Board us again?


Ok, so I'm leaving town again for a nice little get-away and I have to board my dogs!
What's a mother to do?


If you have a 55 of your own just let the gman know at Mr. Know-It-All first before you leave town too!

Awwww ~ it's not so bad. My lab loved staying at City Bark ~ after all, they had a pool! Clever 55, but doubtful you need to feel too guilty!

I'm up:

Oh I used to hate boarding my dog - he always came home with a cough and lost weight because he pined for us. :(

You summed up the feeling in 55 words Lulda.

Mine's up too.

Half the reason we don't go anywhere for long, is we can't leave our animals in the care of strangers...

I don't think I could board my dog. Like you, it's the guilt. My 55 is HERE.

This was such a cute 55. I hate having to board my kitty. At least I have found a place I feel comfortable with and believe Mr. Kitty is in good hands when he's there.
