DogBoy's Dog Ranch

Some friends of ours recommended a great place for Katie to visit when Katherine and I make short out of town excursions. I guess we could let Katie stay there for longer out of town trips, but Katie prefers to go to Grandma and Grandpa Ulrich's house in that case. Anyway, DogBoy's Ranch is the place to go if you are looking for a great place for your pup to stay while you are away. This place is not your standard "kennel". They've got really nice dog runs, part of which are inside and part outside. But the coolest thing about DogBoy's is that they dont really stay in the dog run except at night! They have a 15 acre spread with about 20 different fenced off play areas for the dogs to play in during the day. They evaluate each dog and keep pooches with similar temperaments and energy levels together. They had no problem with Katie's newfound special needs (insulin injections) and other meds. They also take the dogs out for hikes during the day! We could tell that every employee at the ranch truly cares about dogs. Rebbecca took care of Katie for us on one of the days and we noticed she had a tattoo of puppy paws around her wrist! It's obvious they only hire real dog lovers out there!
