It is only a matter of hours now until we say goodbye. This will be our first time apart and already the tears are flowing. I know he is going to miss me and wonder if I’m ever coming back. It breaks my heart to worry him so. I know it is only for a few days, But how does he know that? For all I know, he’ll think he is back at the pound. Bless his poor little heart. He’ll be taking his own little bed and his kennel so he won’t feel so far from home. But I’ll feel so far from him. He won’t have anyone to give him lovin’s and kisses, to shake his hand and give him treats. Who is going to chase him around the coffee table and play hide and seek? Who is going to comfort him if there is a thunder storm? Oh I know he’ll be better off there than with us. He goes nuts when we leave him in the car, or a motel room or the RV. I’m a big blubbering mess that is beginning to think this is going to be easier on him than me. |

I am guessing you are sending him the vet. We do worry about our pets. It'll be over soon. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (07-10-2017 09:03 AM).] |

Yes he is going to the vet. He is used to going to the vet (not this one) to get groomed so he doesn't have "vet anxiety". I know it won't be for that long. It just hit me yesterday how much emotion I have tied up in this dog. It is like he has become my emotional support dog. Anyway, the powerful feelings caught me off guard and spawned a poem. ~L |

I enjoyed your poem, you feel the same as I do about my furry creature. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
