Awwwwww! A love like that with your pets is something beautiful. Girlscout is

one lucky dog and you are one lucky lady! A while back I hired an animal

psychic for something and became convinced that there's something to it. Since

then when I'm away I make a point every day to visualize my cats strongly and

talk to them in my mind. It helps me - I hope it helps them too :) Maybe you

could give it a try?

I will do the visualizing thing and I bet you she will respond. I just

finished packing and she tried to climb in my luggage. AGGH. Tears.

Her breed is extremly tough (she's a type of terrier). And they are known

for being adaptable. They have no problem bonding with new owners and

leaving their FOO's for their forever homes.

In other words, I think this is going to be much harder on me than it will

be on her. Ugh.

Boyfriend promised she can come with me to the airport. i'm also having a

little anxiety over being so far from my T. But leaving Scout is so so so

hard.

We are going on another trip for boyfriend's birthday just as soon as I get

home, but she gets to come along on that trip.

OMG, I'm having a hard time breathing. And I'm laughing at myself because I

know its over leaving my baby. . .

Really, I should just take her with me. Is 17 lbs too big to go on the

airplane? She flew before but that was when she was a baby. And she got gas

on the plane HA HA HA she was so quite no one knew she was there but their

was a strange stench coming from under my seat.

I just sent my T an e-mail cuz of the panic attack. She might not respond

today but she always gets back to me. She will understand because she knows

and loves my little girlscout. In fact, next time I travel if boyfriend

comes with, T offered to babysit Scoutie. Not many people I can leave her

with because she has a handful of terrier proclivities like running away and

trying to eat yorkies and dachsunds. Its her favorite thing to do, you

should see the smile on her face when she finds one she can try to eat.

I can relate--I buried my beloved boy last summer. He went with me to work most

days and vacationed with me. He and I both recovered from illness together, he

was the only one there for me during so many bad times with nada. There were

times in my marriage I was ready to chuck to hubby but never my boy. Often I was

sure he and I read each other's minds!

My daughter accused me of loving the dog more than her. I told her that my dog

never talked back, never got mad at me, and thought everything I did was just

wonderful. How can any kid from a BPD ask for a better relationship than that?

I hope you and Girlscout are together for many, many years!

That`s an awesome name for a dog! Anyways, I find it hard to leave my pets

because they tend to be supportive regardless of the scenario, whereas people

can be fickle. Could you take something with you that is also a comfort like a

particular stuffed animal or something? Would you be able to take a picture of

her or something of hers to bring her presence with you without bringing her?

Would this possibly upset you further? When I'm away from my pets, I'll call and

make someone put me on speaker phone in order to talk to them (the pet not the

people) and then someone describes their reaction or I can hear them dancing

around. Hope I have helped, goodluck.

CR,

I always do that too! I figure that if my kitties hear my voice on the phone

then they know I am not gone forever!

DD does it with her cats and her dog, lol.

I'm very much an animal person and before Christmas I was working as a dog

bather. I spent most of the day talking " baby talk " and I knew I had a problem

when I tried to call my cousin/boss over the same way I would call a dog.

Aww! You'll be ok! And girlscout will be ok too! So many of us here have

such a love for our animal friends, I don't think you're the crazy dog lady

at all hehe. Maybe it is a KO trait? We show compassion for our pets

because we never got any? I don't know.

I also joke with my fiance that I will likely be the crazy cat lady when I

get old. I love doggies too, but I'm more of a kitty person ;-) I can't

have any here though because his brothers are allergic to both cats & dogs

=(

When I was married I had pets, and I always got really sad & nervous about

leaving them with whomever was sitting. I guess for me it was because they

were my family too! And I felt weird going on vacation or whatever without

them. They were always well taken care of and happy to see me when I got

back =)

Now I have a hamster... and he hates me LOL. I used to have a mouse... Bob

was HER name lol. Had her for a year and a half & she passed =( I miss

her. But I got this hamster, Domo is his name... I can't get him used to me

no matter what I do. I keep trying but he's super hyper & afraid of me. Oh

well... I'll love him & take care of him anyway and keep hoping that one day

he'll figure it out that I'm not going to hurt him.

Mia - who is apparently the crazy hamster lady? lol.

Aww! You'll be ok! And girlscout will be ok too! So many of us here have

such a love for our animal friends, I don't think you're the crazy dog lady

at all hehe. Maybe it is a KO trait? We show compassion for our pets

because we never got any? I don't know.

I also joke with my fiance that I will likely be the crazy cat lady when I

get old. I love doggies too, but I'm more of a kitty person ;-) I can't

have any here though because his brothers are allergic to both cats & dogs

=(

When I was married I had pets, and I always got really sad & nervous about

leaving them with whomever was sitting. I guess for me it was because they

were my family too! And I felt weird going on vacation or whatever without

them. They were always well taken care of and happy to see me when I got

back =)

GSC

I just had to put my little Shadow down last Thursday. She was 15. I m

still grieving that loss.

But, BP or no, we love our pets. We get very protective of them.

You ARE nuts, but that has nothing to do with missing your dog! :)

If you select a good kennel, she will do just fine.
