I was gone over the terrible snow over Christmas this past year(2004) and Kyle went the extra mile to make sure the my dogs were taken care of… she even walked to my house one night just to see that they were OK and to feed them. I really do not know what I would do without Kyle when I am gone. My dogs just adore her and I feel the same way. She is a wonderful person as well as the best pet nanny anyone could find.
