Dog owner Kai Halvorsen could not bear the thought of leaving his beloved bulldog Igor at a kennel, while he would go on vacation to Thailand with his family. To surprise Igor, and the rest of the family, he turned the dog’s kennel cage into a true copy of the family’s living room. Now how darn fantastic is this? Very, I say.
This is one of the most creative stories I have ever seen, as far as making your dog comfortable while you are away. You have a wonderful family and friends, Igor.
GIVEAWAY! For those wanting to treat themselves or their pets to the comforts of home, I have a $100 Certificate for Skymall to one lucky reader in the USA. It was given to me, but with the heavy import charges to Canada, I’d much rather pass it along to someone residing in the states. Good luck and happy shopping to the winner!
I don’t put my dogs in a kennel. We use a petsitter.
I would donate it to one of the Rescues to use for a fundraiser 🙂
What a wonderful story and thank you for such a great give-away! I don’t board my cat or dog, I have my best friend come over and pet sit in our home
I absolutely hate leaving Bentley & Pierre behind. The BlogPaws conference wasn’t as bad because they stayed in a room together at a pet resort. It was awesome and Bentley wasn’t mad at me when I went to get them!
Wow! Igor is such a lucky dog. His master made his kennel a very comfortable place while they are away. Igor can still feel that he’s home even if he’s away from his true home. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story, Kai and Igor.
What, you people go away!!
Yes, it’s very hard for me to leave my pets at a kennel. But it’s harder for them to be left. If at all possible, I try to find a pet sitter to come to the house.
Wow, great story! We just found your website and love it! 🙂 We will definitely post this on our Facebook and link to you. Thanks for all you do for pets!!
I actually have a great kennel that my dogs love.
I do hate leaving my pets. That’s why I usually pay to get the webcam option at their boarding facility so I can watch them all day.
I have never boarded my pets and don’t plan on it I just don’t go on vacations, with 3 dogs and 4 cats it would be hard to leave them especially my cats are seniors
Yes, it’s hard for me to leave my pets at a kennel. But I think it is much harder for them. I try to get someone to come to the house and care for them when I can.

We can not all travel for vacations so always home to care for our furry loved ones. 🙂
Rather than leaving them at a kennel, mine are always with Mom or me. I rehabilitate troubled dogs though and there are many expensive training tools (like agility equipment, faux furniture and animals, etc.) that would come in handy for quicker training. My services have been coluntary up to this point but I’m looking into making it a profession.
Thanks for this opportunity!
I only have one cat but he is like my baby. He is not allowed outside and that is a big reason why I don’t trust other people to watch him in case they accidentally let him out. So basically vacationing is out of the question until he can come with some how!
