Congratulations on the new home
. I'm a hardcore DIYer, love building, and always have a project in progress.
I've never boarded a yorkie of mine. I almost always take her with me. On the rare occasion I can't, she either goes to my parents home, or I have someone come & stay at my home. The cost of paying someone to stay at your house is well worth your piece of mind and your dogs security & comfort.
