A little over a year ago, I brought home a furry ball of chaos. And tonight, the first night that Buddy has been away at Puppy Boot Camp (At my brother and sister-in-law's getting trained)it is truly unnaturally quiet. I miss him. Joey also misses him. One of the saddest things I've ever seen was when I came home tonight. After I let Joey upstairs she was very insistent on going outside, which is unusual because she tends to pee and poop downstairs on the basement floor. When we got outside, she looked towards the garage for the longest time as if waiting for Buddy to come bounding out. She's also been looking outside as if expecting to see him there. I'm going to let Joey sleep with me tonight, but I took her out for a late night long walk. I want to make sure she doesn't potty upstairs, besides, it took our minds off that Buddy "shaped hole in [our] universe" (My apologies to Arundhati Roy for stealing her phrase).
Tough love! It will all be worth it in the end!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think so too.
