Take us with you, Scottie Mom?[/caption]I'm almost there. It hasn't been easy but I'm nearly packed, I've got the proof of vaccines and such ready for Pet Paradise and I even had time to squeeze in an extra load of laundry or two. The more I keep busy, the less time I have to think about the fact I am leaving my babies tomorrow. Everytime I let my mind go down that slippery slope, I get into a panic. Am I doing the right thing? Will they be okay? What if something goes wrong? Is this trip really worth it??
That's when I have to remind myself to breathe. Heather and Mr. K are acting normally. Neither has sensed anything is going on just yet. In fact, they're right here, snoozing away - which is what I should be doing! We'll be up at 4:30 a.m. to get everybody ready and on our way to Pet Paradise by 6 a.m. Then, I'll be on a flight to see Scottie Dad. If I can just get through the morning, I'll be all right. What a sense of accomplishment and relief it will be if I get through this trip without completely succumbing to anxiety! Fingers and paws crossed for all of us, please - especially Heather and Mr. K. I hope they have a good experience their first time boarding.
Keep a positive thinking, Scottie Mom... They will have a great time!! You will see...!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you the best on your trip and your Scotties adventure away from home. They may enjoy the new friends and attention! My heart breaks for you for all the anxiety you are going through. We were lucky with Duffy to get a neighbor college student to house sit every time we had to leave him home. We made it up to him by taking him every summer to a lake resort.
ReplyDeleteIt is easier to leave your spouse than your scotties.....I know the feeling.Lol.
ReplyDeleteBreath!!! They will be fine and just think of the tail waggin face luckin reunion.....enjoy your trip and time with your great man!!
ReplyDeleteScotties are flexible on some things and H&K should be OK.
ReplyDeleteTake a deep breath, you too deserve some "me" time. Everything will be fine, one of two things will happen; they will kiss you and won't leave you out of their sight or they will snub you for a while when you get home.
ReplyDeletefrom one scottie mom to another, i know how hard it can be leaving your babies. know that they will be just fine. of course you will miss them and they will miss you, but you can always call and check on them to be sure that they are doing okay. just don't let your worry interfer with having a good time scottie dad! having had to spend time away from my baby, edgar, i can tell you that the joyous reunion (almost) makes up for the time away!
ReplyDeleteMy Scotties like going to camp more than they like being home.
ReplyDelete[…] You might recall the anxiety I had the first time I ever boarded them in January 2013 - if not, you can read about it here). It amazes me to think that how comfortable I am taking them there now. I know well that when […]
