Full marks for Alyssa! So far we've had only one stay with her and I expect more to come. Alyssa was attentive to my requests for day care of my two 11-year old Poms. They don't spend much time away from me and my wife and one in particular is especially eager to get to me when I come to pick them up--so much so that he can choke himself pulling to get to me. Today, that one was quite calm when I arrived! He'd spent a lot of the day cuddling with Alyssa and was not in the least wound up (this is an Official Good Thing.) Alyssa sent several photos and status texts through the day and I had confidence that my boys were in capable and loving hands. I fully expect to use Alyssa again for day care and boarding.
