Well, we did it. We dropped Phoebe off at the kennel this morning. I’m not used to her being gone. I keep expecting to find her sleeping on the floor beneath my feet. It’s a bit depressing, but I’m trying not to allow it to overwhelm me. To that end, I’m trying to stay a little bit busy. It’s not easy, since I started my packing days ago and am nearly done, except for items that I’ll need to get ready tomorrow morning. We have to get up really early (I mean, 4:00 AM early) in order to get to the airport early enough. I’m probably planning to be there too early, as I’m allowing 2 hours before the flight, but I’m nervous about how long the security line will be, etc. I guess it’s better to be too early than too late, right? I’m hoping that we’ll be able to sleep on the flight.
Well, that’s it for me, for now. I know it was a short post, but I don’t have a lot to say. Wish me luck next week, as I will be attempting to train some fellow employees on a new software package that we’ve been using, and I’m a little nervous about it. I hope to post a couple of times while I’m there, but I can’t promise anything. If I don’t get the chance, I’ll be back by Memorial Day (next Monday). See you then, if not before!
Jenna, I hope your trip will be (was) safe and uneventful, that the training goes (went) well, and that Phoebe makes (made) a lot of new friends during her “camp-over” experience. Sending lots of hugs, whenever you are able to read this!
Have a great trip! Lots of luck!
I thought I’d pop in and say “hello” but I see you’re off on an adventure. Try not to worry about Phoebe and enjoy your trip. Ciao!
I finally got your weblog working for me again (I think my computer is acting up… Growing up is so hard to do, even for computers! 😉 and then I read that you’re out of town…
Have a great time, and I’m sure Phoebe will be at her best behaviour when you pick her up again!
And as Angela (or rather her son) so nicely put it – all you can do is love her while she’s here. No matter how much we love someone, everybody’s timeline is limited… She’s what, 10 years now? That will give you, roughly, 5 years of love – and from my own experience when those years have gone and she starts getting worse, you will see that it’s sometimes better to let them go than keep them hanging…
Lots of good vibes to you though, it’s rough when you can’t really DO anything… (((((hugs))))
