Tickets booked for home!


I have my itinerary set and tickets booked to return home to the U.S. in just a few weeks! I am definitely looking forward to seeing everyone and getting a break from where I am right now. I haven't been in the U.S. since May.



I am still bummed that Beach Dog died before my trip home, and that I won't get to see her so happy and waggy to see me. I was trying to think back to the last time I saw her, and then I realized (to my major disappointment) that I last saw her in May, just as I was about to leave the country. I was running around, printing my boarding pass and throwing things into my carry on at the last minute, that I forgot to say goodbye to her as we raced out the door. I didn't realize until we were on the highway that I hadn't patted her before leaving. Isn't that terrible?



She died 2 months ago and, since then, I have been dying to get a dog.



My current lifestyle totally would not support having a pet, especially not a dog. Even so, I've been looking online at adoption groups.


Our neighbors just got a puppy! That's totally not helping me here.

Sigh.

I'll have another dog eventually.

It's hard to come home after you've lost a pet. My dog died 2 years ago this month and it was so weird to see her water bowl and leash without her :(
