Everything is in place. We're ready! I just need to call the kennel and make an appointment...
I didn't do it Friday. I panicked. I'm too nervous. This means too much to me.
I swear, I'm going to do it Monday. I will kick my long-standing habit of being terrified of happiness. I promise. I just hope I don't embarrass myself and start crying.
On the chance that you are here looking for non-crazy news, I have rather officially committed myself to attending Greyhounds in Gettysburg again this year. I'm excited to see some of my favorite people, including the fantastic ladies I travel with. Will you be there?
Whoot Whoot - Alisha - its ok Monday is good!
ReplyDeleteLove you!! You can call today and leave a message for Mary - she may be home too!! Sharon
Don't be embarrassed if you cry. It's a very emotional thing. On the day that Joey arrived, there were two other families there picking up their new greyhounds and they were all getting new greyhounds because theirs had just died. So, there were three of us there for the same reason and I knew all of them. It was a happy and sad day all rolled into one. I felt and sometimes still feel that I was disloyal to Jack for adopting again, but he was such a great dog that I wanted to bring another one into my life. I still really miss him, but I'm trying really hard to remember the good times with him and not dwell on that he is gone.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy that you are opening your heart up to another greyhound. You are going to change their world.
I understand, but way cool of you to go have some fun!
ReplyDeleteYeah, don't be embarrassed of tears, I believe it's totally right. I know this transition, the happy-sad of it. And it is good and leads to more love. The love never dies.
ReplyDeletewhen it happens it happens and it will be glorious! You deserve to be happy and even if it involves tears. I will never forget the ride home with Janus, four hours and my happiness and relief on the way home. I had lost Jewel but he did a miracle of starting the healing as we drove the hours home trying to decide whether to rename him or not or keep his name the same. Good luck I can't wait for pics when it happens. Deb
ReplyDeleteWe're sure hoping to be there!
ReplyDeleteDon't make me start texting you to get you to call that adoption group! I can't wait to see what happens, and if it makes you feel any better, I had hubby call the adoption group when we were going back up, and I still ended up crying when we were there. There's no shame in that!
How exciting to add a new family member. I think it will be great. 2011 wasn't so great for us either, I won't miss it all.
ReplyDeleteGoing to GIG is on my bucket list:)
ReplyDeleteI imagine going to bring home a new family member will be very bitter/sweet for you. I'm tearing up just thinking about how I would feel. Well done on being ready to do it:) Can't wait to read about how things go and who you come home with! Enjoy the happiness.
When the timing is right, it will happen. See you in PA!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo not be embarrassed if you cry. I will be anxious to hear...
