I did call the vet a few days ago & they do not board. I asked if they knew of anyone who did in-home care, and they gave me one name, but that person won't work because she only comes TO a house 3 times a day - that is just not enough for my 2 little ones! I went out the the boarding kennel tonight to see it and it's not that bad...not great though. There were actually 2 yorkies together in a pen there. They can't go in & outside freely - the doggy door to the private outside runway is controlled & they open it 4 times per day (I asked about the number of times, and they will open it a couple more for Buster & Bailey though since they are so small & can't hold their bladder that long). I have made the decision that it's just not fair if we bring them with us. I'd be so worried about them, I would almost for sure not have a good time. My father-in-law suggested one person I hadn't thought of, so I am going to call her tomorrow & see if she can take them. If not, then I will be boarding them at the kennel for 3 days. I know they will be safe, as the place is clean & I know other people that have taken their pets there. Thanks for the suggestion!
