- You find yourself thinking nostalgically of the time earlier this week when you were talking to an important client on your BlackBerry while it was plugged in, and the dog tripped over the charger wire, knocking your phone out of your hand and sending it flying across the room with a crash.
- You keep starting to say, "WHO'S a cute doggy?!" only to realize nobody is there to answer. Well, not that the dog actually answers, normally, but I think the pricked ears and wagging tail qualify.
- You keep catching sight of her empty water bowl on the floor and thinking that you should refill it so she doesn't go thirsty.
- The sight of the closed dog door makes you wistful.
- You drop a noodle on the floor and feel tragic about the fact that nobody is there to gobble it up.
- You feel confused when you finish work and realize that you can go straight to the gym without feeling guilty that the dog isn't getting her time at the dog park.
- You get home from the gym and head straight upstairs to her crate to let her out.
- You start wondering how she's going to go two whole weeks without her daily glucosamine, even though you yourself only started giving her glucosamine a few weeks ago.
- You indulge in your paranoia and check the available dog listings on the prison program website to make sure they haven't gotten confused and put her up for adoption.

This recipe sounded delicious to me when I came across it, and it turned
out that it was. Also, I've reached the point with cooking where I can make

aww, it will go fast! I remember the first time we dropped Penny off at the kennel - I cried.
ReplyDeleteYep, sounds familiar. Even when he's at my parents' we'll look at each other on a trip and say "Scito would love it here". Lol, so ridiculous. Have a fabulous trip, and you'll be home to your pup in no time!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel! I adopted my cat in August and am freaking out about having to leave her for a week while I go on vacation...even though I fully trust that a cat-sitter will be able to give her a scoop of dry food and some fresh water 2x/day and keep her litterbox clean, which is really all she wants anyway.
ReplyDeleteOn a weekly basis, my eyes well up with tears when I have to leave SoMi for the day so I can go to work. Without skipping a beat, it happens to me all the time. I honestly can't imagine leaving her for two whole weeks. I'm hooked! =)
ReplyDeleteAww you're such a good doggy parent! I remember when my cat was at the vet overnight one time and it was SO WEIRD not to have her around. She doesn't talk, she doesn't even really meow, but I really missed her presence nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteI used to get very hand-wringy when we left our cats. Kids, thankfully, have distracted me from those feelings a bit. It's never fun to leave a loved one behind though.
ReplyDeleteTime will fly, seriously. :)
ReplyDeleteI cry every single time we drop Shorty off at the PetsHotel, even though he LOVES it there and the workers get all excited when they see him.
ReplyDeleteEvery. Single. Time.
Aw, poor Jess! (I'm sure Montana is having a grand time, so I'm not feeling sorry for her.) The last one is the best.
ReplyDeleteI really can't decide if I'm more excited to see my dad, who I haven't seen in a few months, or the dogs. Tough call. Luckily he might be the only person who understand that.
I feel the same way when we are at home without our dog! It just doesn't feel right.

ReplyDeleteThis caught my eye for I am missing my cat. I had to give him up after six months because my husband got asthma. He's been gone two weeks and I cry from missing him so much...the house is just not the same.
