i think that sounds fine! they are lucky to be able to go to day care and have interactions with people. in my opinion they may be more upset at home with no one to "entertain" them.. at least at day care i'm sure their days go by fast. although.. not being a dog myself.. i dont' know! layla goes to day care two days a week and when i pick her up... she is pooped! (sorry two days in a row a week) and i'd rather have her with someone who can watch her.. than at home worrying that she may have gotten into something... do you find you worry about them more when they are home or at daycare?? i think the answer to that question will help ... good luck with your decision.. Simon and Hallie are very lucky to have a mother who worries like you
