separation anxiety

i mentioned briefly yesterday that i was stressed about being away from tonks for two weeks…but i very much undersold how nervous i actually am. i honestly miss her while i am at work during the day and the thought of not seeing her for two whole weeks almost brings tears to my eyes.

i know she will be in good hands as she’s staying with our friends matt and tegan, who are excited about caring for her. we are so lucky that they volunteered to do this, because i’m not sure i could stomach the thought of her in a kennel.

but not only have i never done this - she’s never done this. and i think she knows something is up. she has been acting so odd for the past few days - coinciding almost exactly with when we took out our suitcases - following us around, being extra cuddly, not eating, and she even had the courtesy to pee all over my duffle bag today (neat). i just know she’s going to be depressed while we’re gone and although i know she’s just a dog and all, it’s still hard to knowingly inflict that distress on a living thing.

so think good thoughts tonks’ way.
