i miss her. like, a lot.
a few people have emailed/commented wondering when she is coming down to Nevis… short answer: she’s not.
long answer: the flight details, shocking increase in cost, connections, delays, runway temperatures, and quarantine in a yard that will likely have to be sprayed again for cockroaches have all conspired against my optimistic hopes. this was an extremely difficult decision to un-make. maybe one of the hardest un-doing-of-decision moments in memory.
but, she is happy on the farm. and it will snow soon. and i know how much she loves snow. i just can’t live with the decision to put her through all the stress (and potential danger) of bringing her down here for my selfish comfort.
so, i look through photos of her several times a week. and remember her grin. and post her picture as my desktop background and poor substitute for a hand-licking reminder to go outside and take a walk.
miss ya, boo. hope you’re being a good girl.
Ah. Sorry to hear that, Jen.
You’re so strong to be making such a difficult (but smart, imo) decision.
And I’m sure Maddy loves the farm and your Mom and is having lots of fun chasing rabbits and birdies. And soon, the snowflakes. ;-)
real love lets you do what is best for who you love even when it is not best for yourself ~ but still i teared up reading this knowing how hard this is on your heart … sending you tons of love!! xox
these pics are priceless… :)
Sadly I think you made the right choice. Think she would be happy if she were with you but she is safer where she is with less stress.
You will be back together soon enough.
wow…can’t imagine how hard it must have been to come to that decision.
i remember going back home after ages away and my dog coming with her challenging bark to the front door. I would always laugh and she would instantly realize her mistake as, i guess, the memories (or smells?) triggered and then she would, sheepishly and instantly switch to play mode.
