After a week in SF, Koa is truly becoming a city dog. When he initially arrived last Wednesday, he seemed a little anxious out on the street and seemed a bit confused by all the people and lack of grass.  Now that a week has passed, we’ve found a good place for him to take care of his “business” each day and has become accustomed to the ballpark foot-traffic and the sights along Embarcadero.  He’s also gotten used to our little condo and has gotten back into his old routines and habits.

A guy in Palm Springs offered to take over the lease on Jes’ car, so we’ll be driving it down this weekend.  Since we’re leaving the car in LA, we’ll have to fly back up, which means Koa will have to stay behind in SF for a couple days.  Instead of bothering one of our friends with the task of watching him, we registered him with Wag Hotel, which is a kennel that has a fancy name, fancy rooms, and a fancy boutique out front.  We got him a medium-sized room and since he’s not neutered, he will have three “business walks” on the roof instead of two playgroup sessions with the other doggies.  Unfortunately, his walks will only last about 15 minutes each and the rest of the time will be spent in his cell.  It seems sorta sad but I think he should do fine considering that he sleeps about 22 hours per day.  We’ll see how it goes.  If he comes back a nervous wreck, we’ll have to find a Plan B for our next trip.
