I was just thinking back to the times we'd pick Minnie up from the place we boarded her on vacations. I always do vacations in national parks and national forests because I love hiking and wildlife, and unfortunately, national parks and forests are very bad places for yorkies (though the forests can be great if you have a larger breed of dog who is also athletic). So after a couple of weeks I would just be dying to see Minnie. When I'd go pick her up coming back I'd yell "Minnie!" in a sweet but still somewhat loud voice and she would be going nuts to get back in my arms. I don't know whether it was her or me who was going more crazy after a couple of weeks apart, but the car rides back home were always so exciting. I always felt kind of bad boarding Minnie (though the place I boarded her was great), but mountain passes, glaciers, freezing alpine lakes, and volcanic areas are very bad places to bring a dog.
