DOG OWNERS BEWARE. This issue occured when our dog stayed with Amy Feb 6th -10th. Please see the following e-mail correspondence between Amy and my husband which details the entire situation as well as Amy's complete lack of accountability.

Amy,
When we picked up Cairo this afternoon, he was acting unusual. He went to the bathroom longer than normal, as if he hadn't been out in some time. In the car he normally gets excited and rides on the center console, but instead he laid down in the back and cleaned his legs. When we got home, we saw he was limping and could not get up the steps. We took him inside and noticed that his front right leg looked like it had been bitten.
We took Cairo to the vet where they prescribed painkillers and antibiotics. Our question for you is what happened? Did you see a fight or was there an accident? Or did you see his swollen and limping leg? You didn't say anything when we got him, so we aren't sure you noticed.
Needless to say, we are pretty disappointed in your care of him. I have attached a picture of his injury. Please get back to us and let us know your side of

Did you not receive the message I sent yesterday? Cairo tried to jump the fence, missed and got his leg caught on the wood. This isn't the first time he's tried to jump the fence so he's probably not a good fit for this location.

Amy,
I did not receive any email or voice mail from you about that. Can you show me a screenshot of that sent email or call? If this is the case, why didn't you tell us about his behavior before this stay?

Amy has not responded back even though it has been over a week since we e-mailed her. My husband and I have both tried calling her, but her voicemail box is full. In short, her transgression lies in the fact the we did not receive any communication about our dog the entire time he was in her care (Feb 6th-10th) even though her profile states that she will do so. Her contract also states that she will provide an injury report, which she did not. She did not even mention the incident in person when she handed him back over to us. In fact, she was on the phone (which I'm actually wondering if that was just a ploy) when we picked him up and handed us the leash without a word. read more
