leaving the real girlscout

[Guest guest]

Girlscout isn't my real name. Ha ha, I bet you are shocked. It is however,

my dog's real name. She is my baby. About 18 months ago I left her in a

kennel for 2 nights. Other than that, I've never been away from her over

night. Umm, she is 5 years old.

I feel more and more like a crazy dog lady as I write this - but I'm going

out of town for 4 days tomorrow. Girlscout is staying home with her brothers

and my boyfriend. He will take good care of all 3 of them.

Am I freaking about leaving boyfriend? Nope. Am I scared to travel to a

strange city all by myself? Not really. Am I just about in a full blown

anxiety attack to be away from Girlscout?

Help me. I don't know if this is a KO thing or not. It kind of is because

Girlscout goes to every single therapy appt with me. And as I come to accept

myself more and believe the bad things in my childhood were not my fault, I

only love her more and she has mellowed and melted into an amazing little

girl. She sleeps in my arms at night like a baby. She is my ID.

4 days without her. GULP!!!!!
