Hi and welcome to YT!
I'm sorry for your loss...we lost our first Yorkie when he was almost 13 so I know exactly how you feel. We waited a while before getting another Yorkie...first we got Jo and about 6 months later we got Riley.
I only boarded our boyz one time and it was at a boarding kennel. I hated it...but leaving them at a vet is worse. Most vets only have small cages for them to stay in and they're taken outside once or twice a day. If you use a regular boarding kennel they have a larger indoor/outdoor area to stay in. I think a boarding kennel gives them a little more attention.
When we travel our boyz go with us and now that we have the 2 girls they will go also. We've never had any trouble taking them into hotels. Sure, it takes a little more work but to me it's worth it to know they are with me and being taken care of.
Good luck if you decide to find a new baby...there are a lot of good breeders and rescue groups on this site that should be able to help you. |
