To my new best friends at Best Friends,

Thank you for making my time away from home so special. :-). I really enjoyed the real Turkey dinner and my cuddle time was awesome!! I also appreciated the maid service with the doggie treat on my bed, and the playtime was outstanding. You guys really know how to treat your visitors!! If I have to go to a doggy hotel again in the future, my parents are going to let me come back and spend time with you again!! :-)

Fondly,
TJ  (Typed by my parent Desiree)
