NUTS

I think I am going nuts. the weather is a cold 28 degrees and there is 5 inches on snow on the ground. I am leaving tomorrow to go to a conference at Atlantis in the Bahamas. The weather there is a nice 75-80 degrees and no snow in the forecast. And yet......all I can think is I hope the week will go fast so I can play with Bella, I am mad I am going to have to miss an agility class because of this "stupid trip" and I am not going to have anyone laying on my legs while I sleep. this is just awful why did I ever sign up for this conference. There has to be something closer so that I can take her along. Believe me I even looked into something in driving distance but nothing sound good.

I must be nuts, the idea of going away for a whole week and no Bella is killing me. No one warned me of this side effect when adopting a sheepie. They really should come with a warning label and more up front marketing about the mental consequences of having sheepies in your life. Who do you report these things to??? the better business bureau????

ha funny i go away weekends and hate it missing my boys
I'll be happy to go in your place. What time should I be at the airport? And what airport am I leaving from????? :lol:
We're planning a ~3 week trip in the fall to Europe. Mady will be staying with Amber so she will get tons of great care, affection, and a bunch of sheepdogs to run around with. We're having serious doubts whether we can actually cope with leaving Mady for 3 weeks. I went away last weekend by myself for a boy's weekend at my BIL's farm, I missed Mady like crazy. I hate going to work because I hate leaving her.... Yeah 3 weeks in Europe will be very very tough... :twitch:
Same problem here!!

We have had no summer to speak of this year - very cool and VERY wet, and I LOVE hot weather. Wayne has been talking about me going to Borneo with him in July as he has to go for work. I keep thinking the warm weather will be nice but then I think I don't want to be without Tiggy for 2 weeks. :pupeyes:

If you left Tiggy for two weeks...I can only imagine the shenanigans 8O Would make for great blog entries, though :twisted: :twisted:
S.S.A....Sheepie Separation Anxiety. Its a very common malady with no cure other than heavy doses of Sheepie cuddling once you get home :wink: .

Ive come to the point where I associate motel rooms with crying :cry: :oops:
I think we need an SSA support group. I too suffer every day at work counting the minutes till I can hug my sheepie boys! Happily they are as excited to see me as I am them. Whether it is charlie's beautiful tail slapping my legs to the point of bruising or ted's tailless wigglebutt, I always get a warm welcome! The sheepie life is so good! :hearts:
Yeah, but after a day or so you relax....then the day you come home you want the plane to fly faster as you need to get home! So enjoy the few "relaxing" days.

As for Maddie.......I'd love to go to Camp Amber Sheedog...while you are seeing the sights in Europe, I'd get to play with all the sheepies!
When we went to St. Thomas, my phone wouldn't work until we got to the highest point. Guess who I called. I wanted to make sure the boys were doing ok.
I wouldn't go.
:lol: no really, I wouldn't. It's bad enough having to go to work.. I have separation anxiety.

I have been half seriously telling David to go with my brother and I will stay home. Hmm, or maybe I would go with Mady to Amber's place!
Let me tell you...it doesn't get any better over time. I've been feeling the same way since 1985 when we bought our 1st OES! I try to avoid the conversations that contain the word "vacation" 8O
I call and talk to Phoebe on the answering machine every night when I travel for work or on the speaker phone. It's the only way she will eat when I'm gone.
:D I am bless with having a job that allowed me to work from home, so I work from 11 pm to 7 am and then give breakfast to my dogs, take them out side for a potty break and a little bit of playing while I eat my “dinner” they come in and we all go the bed, we all tired after a long night of work. They all go to work with me, yeap, they lay around sleeping while I answer phones. :yay: :yay:

I love have my Tilly and the other dogs working with me, so when I get a bad call, I can hug them and that will make me fell better. :hearts:

The big problem I have is that I need to report to the office every 2 weeks, go in sign papers get training etc. :( and sometimes I found my self making excuses so I don’t have to go into the office so I don’t leave my Tilly or Camille or the other dogs alone, I hope my boss don’t read the previous statement about making excuses LOL.

Yeah Sheepie Separation Anxiety, is bad, more than anything in my case, because go to work with them and I take them with me to the store or everywhere I go , yes I take Tilly, Camille and Piper my Golden with me, it gets a little bit crowded in the back seat of the Impreza that we have LOL, they love to go in trips and they don’t care.

Yes I agree we need to have a support group, because I need to make a trip to Mexico :excited: to go and see my mother and I really don’t want to go and leave Tilly , I keep telling my mother a ton of excuses, and after what happen last year I shouldn’t be doing it!

LOL anyway if you start a support group let me know I be the first on line !!
I too have Pet Seperation Anxiety. When I had to go to my sister's out east for a Thanksgiving, I called home every day and talked to them. I know my upright family thought I was crazy but I don't give a rip. When I was in the hospital for 11 days, I was having major meltdowns because I wanted to be HOME AND with them. Two years ago I went on a 3 day Carriabean cruise, which I loved! I do hate the flying part of any trip. Anyway, the cruise line has a contract with Verizon so I could call home from the ship but also from the islands. Of course I called!!
Enjoy Atlantis. It is absolutely gorgeous. We took a tour and it is like a city onto itself. Beaches, Casinos, Clubs the glass aquarium. Some of the large privately owned yachts are anchored there too.
If you can find a good looking hot guy who loves dogs, send him my way, ok?
