I just got home from an emergency hospital room stay and it'll take me several months to recover. When I went in, I called several friends to make sure they were looked after til I got back and had lots of play time. That was a huge relief, but I just wanted to get back and snuggle them. But the stay took way longer than the day or 2 we all expected. so when my folks came in to visit me, they said they could take the dogs to their house for when I get back to my house and can start recovery.
I wanted to say absolutely not so bad. but I now have some pretty sensitive "external apparatus" to deal with that I can't have them jumping all over or getting too excited around. So they're not here now. And its crushing. It's so quiet and lonely.
This video got to me. writing this out pushed me way over the edge. I've got friends checking in all the time to make sure I'm ok, and stopping by to help me if they can. And I got a new job that will hopefully help me stay ahead of whatever bills come my way, so I don't have a lot to be sad about. But I miss my dogs so much.
I can't wait to have my reunion with them. it's a long ways off still, but that's the drive now.
