I always take my babies to Paws and Claws resort here in PA. I know it is hard to leave them at a kennel but I am very comfortable with the woman who ownes this kennel since my vet recommended her and uses her for boarding his pets. Perhaps ask friends or your vet and you can always take a tour of the facility. I do have two babies to keep each other company, I have left them there 3 times and they never come home sick or with anxiety. They are super glad to see mom! (doesn't hurt that the owners daughter loves yorkies) I gave her an extra tip and she hand fed my little one. They also have web cam available and a toll free number to call as much as I want. No matter what you decide, you will feel guilty, but try to have fun and look forward to the happy little one when you get back
