| I agree with others... I would check for recommendations at your vet or even think about boarding them at your vet. Good luck!

| The lady in Troy has two yorkies and one maltese. She will take about 4 or 5 others. I have been there when she had a full house and it is amazing they all seem to do well and get along. It sort of reminds me of the yorkie meetups I go to. She does require proof of shots and one day a week they all get groomed. I would go crazy with all those yorkies but she seems to love it and her house and yard is dog proofed. There is another gal that she is friends with that does this in Lapeer but that was further for me. Since you are driving I would really try to take the dogs with you. I know a lot of people say the vets office, but then no one is there at night and they do put them in cages, I am sure they would be safe, but I know even my most adjusted dog would be stressed left in any environment that involved being along at night and in a cage. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Doesn't Lansing have any doggie daycares that also board dogs? That is sure what I would do, and have done, but not familiar with what's in Lansing. Sure beats the vet's office and a stranger staying in your home.

| Not to further complicate your discission, but I have had bad results leaving our first Yorkie at the Vets, which is why we gave it up. They put him in a little cage and gave him a couple walks per day. That was totally unsatisfactory, and he was a high strung type Yorkie and barked constantly. Every time we picked him up, if we did not pay extra for the bath service, he always had poop all over him, AND he was always so horse from all the barking he had no voice left. I would never subject a more nervous Yorkie to conditions like that if I had any other choice. On the plus side, I never was concerned for his safety, because they never left the dogs together, but just walked them independently. |

| Ugh, I'm sorry. It's such a dilemma. I don't know WHAT I would do without my father. Luckily, every time I've ever been away, he's always home. And his house is practically Jackson's second home, and he loves their two dogs, and my brother and step-mom. So he's the most comfortable there. He still misses me, and is different more reserved when I'm not there, but he does okay and ultimately, I know he's in good hands. I don't think I could ever board him, he's not the type of dog that would do okay in that kind of environment. If I didn't have family, I think pet sitter would be my #1 choice. I would find someone to meet him first a few times with me there (it takes Jax a few times to get acclimated to someone, then he loves you forever). But good luck!!

| that's exactly what my neighbors did so they could take their golden doodle with them, they even bought a new car that could be towed behind the motor home. That is true doggy love |

They have to stay in their cages for their own security, but they take them outside in a secure area two or three times a day to run and play and potty. They even have cam corders so you can actually watch your own dogs anytime you want. It give you peace of mind when your away.
