Mixed emotions
Nov. 9th, 2009 08:18 amWell last night was the final one with Heartly as my dog guide and my constant companion. Just then, I took her checkchain off and put her play collar on her, which we were meant to put on them whenever they weren't working, but I didn't do this much; I instead wanted to give her neck that break. Anyway, I thought it'd be nice to travel to Mum's in. She'll also be going over there with her bed (although she has one there, but it's what she knows; and she'll have two there. GDV now give us new beds with our dogs), the remainder of her food (which is almost an entire new packet) and her lead for walking.
I was my saddest last night, but at the same time, I realize GDV timed this extremely well since she's now a cancer surviver, and she's most probably ready for this.
I am excited about getting Joy today, don't get me wrong. I've just got to make sure I focus only on her. As B and others rightly say, it's not their fault they're our second dog, so we can't make them think they're less adequate to us. And, Joy is the cutest ever and a very enthusiastic worker, from that day I was with her, so I know very well, without a doubt, I'll be more than excited to start my life with her.
All I wish is that Heartly is happy and healthy, and that I get to see her heaps, and she won't hate me for giving her away so to speak; not that it really has to be that drastic I know, as she's going to my parents place where she will continue being very loved and spoilt.
I've packed for GDV (Guide dogs Victoria) except for my tablets. Got my phone charger in bag, and mobile on knee as I'm about to put Gayle's mobile in incase she calls me regarding my job interview of a couple of weeks ago.
Though I don't have my laptop, there is a computer at GDV, so I will try and get on there and update this LJ and Twitter!
Mum will be over soon to cut my fringe (as she's good at it) and give me a lift there. Got to be there by 9.30.
So off I go to get dressed.
Be back here Friday, dogless but with cane in hand. (we now don't take our dogs home until the final weekend.)
Til Next Time, RdFreak
