One Crazy Doodle Mom! UPDATE

[Phoebe's Mom]

I just dropped Phoebe off at puppy day care because I have a friend coming over (all the way from IN, we are in MN) with her two small children (ages 3 and 5 years) who are precious but wild. I thought it best that Phoebe be out of the fray--we have an open concept house with no real way to gate her somewhere where she would not want to be part of the action plus, this is the first time my friend will be here so we need to do the house tour and such. I am such a worry wart. This is the first time I will be away from Phoebe for this long--day care and then grooming so I will not be picking her up until 6pm!!!. I know she will be fine as the day care is in our vet's complex so Phoebe will have the best of care--our former trainer is the head of the day care unit. Everyone adores Phoebe but I am so anxious. My husband thinks I am nuts because I miss her already. Phoebe is such a huge part of my life. I knew I could share this here on DK because I think it is safe to say you all 'get it.' Counting the minutes until 6pm...

UPDATE--I called the groomer at 6pm as I had not heard back and she said would be another hour!!! I just picked Phoebe up, took her for a walk, fed her a little dinner and now she is all clean and asleep near my feet. All is right again!

Just tell youself her doggie friends are way more fun than you are. I used to be like this when my son was little and at daycare, when I worked nightshift I would sacrifice sleep in order to pick him up early only to find he didn't want to come home, he wanted to stay and play. His daycare friends were more fun than being home alone with boring old mom.You'll probably have a very tired doodle and a very relaxing evening.

OMG!! I TOTALLY "get it"!!! I'm a work at home doodle mom and I am used to Tara being with me every minute!! When she used to go to the groomer's I was a complete mess until she got back home!!! And that was only for a couple of hours!! All day!!! :(

Completely understandable. Our doods are our four footed children.

I totally understand! I miss Callie every day while I'm at work. Six will be here before you know it!
