I LEFT MY DOOD BLUES!

[Chris & Boys]

Yesterday, my Fozzy Bear turned 5 months old. And I wasn't there to celebrate with him. Nope, he was cuddling up with someone else. You see, back in the fall, when we planned on rescuing an older doodle, we figured (ok, I figured) it would take 6 months to a year to find a match. So I booked a flight for me and the boys to go visiting our family and friends over spring break. I had no idea we would rescue a newborn. So, here I am, in Phoenix, singing the blues missing my very handsome and goofy guy. Now remember, I take him to work with me every single day and have done so since the day we adopted him. , I am with him basically 24/7.
I was lucky enough to get a tech from our vet's office to watch him for me. It was good for Fozzy as her hubby just lost his job and will be able to be with him 24/7!

I just cannot belive what a whimp I am - I miss him so much. He is going to be so big by the time we get back. Is this nuts or what? But how could I not miss that adorable fuzzball?

You are so lucky to take him to work with you! I don't think that would go over so well here at the hospital (RN). So I have to be gone from my doodle 3 12hour shifts a week! It's miserable! I'm sure he's doing great and will be happy to see you soon! Try to enjoy your vacation!!!

I can understand how you feel too...I miss my BeauBeau terribly just when I leave him to be groomed! I have not been anywhere without him since I got him, save the grocery store. He is clearly my life's mate.....hence the name! LOL He's been to: Philadelphia, Atlantic City, the outer banks of North Carolina, Chicago, and Virginia.....whew! He's got more frequent flier miles than the average Fido. I took a wonderful Mediterranean cruise just before I got him, so I got the solo travel out of my system for a while. Would love to make thattrip again, but only with my Beau!

I don't think you're a wimp! I take my little darlin's everywhere I go (except work - lucky YOU!)... I'm already dreading a 5 day business trip I have to make in May... grrrrrr... and you're right - at this age they do grow so fast!!! Fozzy Bear's a lucky little guy.

I have been fighting the urge to call the dogsitter. Yep, it is driving me nuts. Everywhere I go, dogs. At the park the other day I saw a woman across the park - looked like she had two medium doodles. Going to the Grand Canyon - yep, the hotel we are staying at is pet-friendly...... We were sitting out by the pool yesterday and could hear a puppy whimpering to get off his leash to play with a passing dog. So sad.....

We had to leave Ned this week for 6 long days. We miss him so much. My kids texted me a picture of our "favorite" child. Wish they could just text him to us!

[Phoebe's Mom]

I can so relate. We just got back from celebrating an early Easter with family and I spent the entire time thinking about Phoebe--and we only left her for 4.5 hours (our longest time apart to date!!!). I am so addicted to my doodle. I cannot bear to be away from her even though at times--i.e. the potty issues!!!!--she drives me nuts. I hope your vacation is enjoyable and fast!

Aww.......I know exactly how you feel. I was a stay at hom mom for 9 years and worked at homw for a couple, so both our puppies had me around 24/7. I recently went back to work part-time out of the home, and feel so sad to leave the dogs :(
