| hi i just wanted to add that, although we worry ourselves sick, our little ones are more resilient than we think! sure, they will wonder what's going on and why you aren't around, but time to a dog is different than time to a human. i agree it will be harder on you than on your yorkie. i have to board my guys too, as i don't have family around. the kennel that i used before was wonderful and the dogs had a great time. now, i've moved to a different area and will be using my vet's office for boarding when i go away in january! i think there is less worry in that - they seem to love dogs, they are very responsible, and they take them out three times a day, and they'll get extra attention, too! good luck and try to enjoy your vacation. although you care so much about your dog, you have to take care of yourself and enjoy your life too! have fun!

| oh, and i just wanted to add that i boarded charlie when he was only 5 months old and he did really well! he wasn't stressed at all. small dogs tend to get a lot of attention in kennels and at vet's offices. at least at the vet/kennel, you know they are in a controlled environment and they are being looked after by people who love animals and who have lots of experience dealing with animals. it's the safest bet!

| First, I'd buy her a really big crate so she could really bounce around - or if they have large kennels, use one of those to give her plenty of room. Do you have a friend she knows that can go by and visit from time to time to make sure she gets plenty of love? I bet she'll be okay. I'd hate to leave her too though.

They do have large kennels at the vet, and as this is not a popular time of year for vacation, I am sure there would be one available. I will ask. I know they do take them outside at least 3 times a day, and if I ask I am also sure they will take her out more often as they are pretty excited to even have her there. All the techs adore her, as they did our other two yorkies before they passed away. These people are pretty special, and I have a great deal of confidence in the fact that she will get loads of attention. I really think it's me that needed the good words to assuage my guilt for leaving her, lol. Someone asked about her size at 4 months: she weighs 3.7 pounds. (can you say OINK?, lol) But she's not fat at all, she's lanky. I need to get some new pics on site so you can all see her now. The one in my atavar is when she was 10 weeks. Thanks, all, for your kind words and suggestions! I am so glad I can visit here anytime I like!

| Update on boarding Wosie We just got back from Hawaii and picked Wosie up yesterday. She looked GREAT! She wasn't fat (I was afraid they would overfeed her), she was clean, she was happy, and she did NOT forget me! Nor did she forget potty training or any of her tricks we have been working on! Apparently one tech had one of her college daughter home for a few days, and she took one look at Wosie and rarely put her down for the entire time she was home, lol. The techs were sorry to let her go, as she had stolen all of their hearts. I am not surprised as I missed her terribly all the while we were gone. Kauai was awesome! If you ever get a chance to go there, do NOT think twice, just GO! It is truly paradise, and we are so lucky to have the Hawaiian islands as part of this incredible country of ours! Thanks again for all your help and advise!
