If I put her in the kennel, then I know that she won't get hurt by someone stepping on her because they arent used to having a yorkie at their feet all the time. I just think ( and call me crazy ) that it would be safer for her. I can pay the kennel here 6 dollars extra a day to take her out and play with her for 15 minutes 2X a day. I am just worried that she will be depressed and won't eat or something. If i leave her with a friend then I am worried that she will get stepped on or she will potty in there house and they will get pi$. I don't mind when she has accidents in my house bc i love her. But other people really dont appreciate that kind of stuff. Also, I don't know anyone without kids, I dont want her in a house with children because she is so tiny and I don't know how parent their children on how to be around animals. GaHHh this is killing me. I could ask someone to come to the house to check onher but I don't trust anyone at work or that I know to come every 4 hours to let her out and I don't know anyone who would house sit. Any advice? I am going nutso as I type, and my DH is a little peeved at me now because I told him I might not go. |
You sound like me lol worried sick about where to leave your baby.I think there are going to be quite a few threads about this subject in the coming months.I posted a while ago about this subject and had a very mixed reaction. The majority though said they holidayed with their baby.for me thats not poss and probably not for you either.
Many people have offered to look after my Tia, but they are not experienced around such tiny dogs.Ive taken the first step and had her kennel cough vaccine done and have checked out the kennels ,its not ideal but she will be safe.Good luck with your decision.
