RETURN (A Five-Minute Friday Post)

Waiting for an ice cube.
This Sunday, I'm driving to Baltimore to RETURN our dog to his original mommy, The Girl.  When she first moved to Baltimore with her husband, they didn't have their own place, so she left her animals (two cats and a LARGE dog) with us.   

They recently bought a house, so the dog has been called to reside with them.  He'll have a fenced yard and kids to play with - dog heaven!!!

It's going to be rough for That Man, though.  He complains that he can't accomplish much with The Dog around, because The Dog always wants to play, but I know it will be rough on him.  We will miss Mr. Zeke the Dog.  His soulful dog eyes, His sweet dog face.  His happy dog yips when he sees Dairy Queen and anticipates a "pup cup" of soft serve!

But he's her dog, and a young dog needs a young family, so he and I will make the long drive east.

    1. Thanks! It will definitely be different making the trip with a big dog panting and whining in my ear! Hot breath in my face! LOL! Hopefully he'll get bored and nap.

  2. Dogs can become such a part of our families. We grieve when we loose them, even when we know that it is the right decision.

    1. Yes, we miss him, but he has adapted to his new home and old family really well. And we get to visit!
