Confessions of a Dog Mom

Waiting so patiently!

 As I drive away, I feel like the worst person in the world. I love Toby as if he was a real baby; my first-born. He has been my main support when family and friends are busy with daily life. He gives me reason to wake up in the morning and to come home at night. He is always there waiting for me.

“Ready for bed?”

Leaving Toby this summer… three weeks so far… has been extremely difficult. I cry every time I leave because I hear his cries. Yesterday, he even opened the front screen door and chased after me!  I believe I now have received a small glimpse of what having a child will feel like. I love Toby… I cannot imagine having more love for a living thing, but I am told that it will happen. It is terrifying!

How can you love a creature with some much intensity that just thinking that they are not with you brings tears to your eyes? I cannot believe that I took my time in Florida for granted. While I was there all I could think about was being home… now that I am home, all I can think about is being back.

Now, it is not because I am not enjoying myself. I LOVE being able to spend so much time with Aaron, his family, and my family. Yet, I wish there was some way to have all the people I love in one place. I can never fully enjoy any moment because I am either without Aaron or without Toby. For the few days that I had both in one place… I felt complete.  I cannot wait until the day that I can have that again… and you know what, I no longer am afraid to say:

I am a dog person!
