Sorry I haven't been around. Been fighting a summer cold. It had me only spending two hours at brother-in-laws surprise birthday party Sat. It seems to ease up then slap me right back. Along with being the only one to keep Oreo happy it's really draining. So far so good for the last 4 days. Got some good sleep also. Hope everyone has been okay out there. Haven't felt much like doing more than checking in here, fb, and spotty at that.
Taking a short trip north to where the guys go hunting. Only an overnight thing. One of their hunting buddies up there wife has passed away and the funeral is later today. I really didn't want to go but between Jack, his buddy Jerry and his wife the pressure was severely put on. LOL! It's my first time away from Oreo and I know I'll be like a mother with a new baby wondering about him all while I'm gone. He has a good babysitter in Nicole so that eases the mind some, and with Danielle next door and Jodi across the street he'll be just fine. But you know us pet mom's. I'm the one constant in his life. Jack has gone away for days and days, but I've never left him.
We'll be going to the visitation etc. then staying at Jerry's trailer up there. Probably out to eat and then head back tomorrow. Hopefully early, lol. Since I have a little time this morning I better go make a note for Nicole on any quirks for the dog. She's headed for the zoo this morning so can't tell her.
Well you all have a good day and I'll let you know how I fare without the puppy, lol.
I hope that you get to feeling better and have a good trip my friend. It's hard to stay connected with all that going on...I have no doubt!
ReplyDeleteBoy do I know how us pet moms are. We worry needlessly. Oreo will miss you, yes, but she'll also enjoy her pet sitters and the extra attention. This time away will actually be good for both of you. Also, think of the greeting you will get when you return.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not a pet mom or a dad for that matter but I did grow up with pets. Not many because they all lived so long. From 1960 to 1980 we had a little long haired cat named Peppy. She was wonderful. Very gentle and yet if our parents were yelling at one of us she would come into the room meowing loudly. In reality she just could have been saying, "Hey keep it down in here!" but we chose to believe she was defending us. She did it every time. Then there was Albie and even though I didn't live there when I came over for a Sunday dinner he would wait for me on the mat in front of the sink so we could rough house. I'd put on a leather glove or he would have made hamburger out of my hands. Yet he was my mother little watch dog or cat. He was always with her and very gentle and affectionate. He was a big boy at 20 lbs. He lived almost 19 years. Wonderful pets and memories.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't mean to write a blob entry in your comments section. Maybe I will blog about the family pets.
I'd be willing to bet you will miss Oreo more than Oreo misses you! Go and enjoy being with loved ones even though it's a sad occasion. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
