Tomorrow you return from Alaska.... I have missed you tremendously! I am always joyful to have you in my day, so to be apart this long is definitely uncomfortable. I was hoping the one positive outcome would be really missing each other, the lame cliche holds true: "Distance makes the heart grow fonder." In an irrational sense, I was a bit paranoid that you would have negative reflections on me and our relationship or decide you'd be better off elsewhere. All of our conversations however, clearly demonstrate the intensity of our connection and devotion to each other. This new level of reassurance is an incredible sense of security for us in the endurance of our relationship.
I'm sorry that your trip did not turn out as adventuresome or enjoyable as expected, although I am still grateful that the time apart allowed us to be further be confident in our love. I am glad we had many deep conversations on difficult topics. We also did extraordinarily well helping each other cope with the separation anxiety or frustrations with family / the holiday stress. That's nothing new though, you are always supportive of me and teach me to stand up for myself. I'm just glad we had the ability to stay in contact for the nighttime phone calls to wish each other good night, the wake-up messages, and the therapeutic conversations, and exciting talks.
The puppy has missed you tremendously. I recall answering the phone excited to talk to you, yelling your name and she bolts towards the front door thinking you got home. She slept by the door at my mom's house, seemingly to be on guard or protect. At our cottage she spent a lot of time lying down at the door, looking wistful. When we got back from Denver, I know she expected you to be inside. Showing the webcam to her confused her but hopefully she gets that you're still in existence. She was cute wagging her tail and going towards the speakers, or trying to look behind the screen for you.
I've tried to be a good DogMom for her and compensate with extra lovin's. Her care included that I brushed her teeth a few times, bathed her, made her wear a sweater/ coat when it was cold, played fetch despite the freezing cold snow, jogging, practiced tricks for treats, fed the good canned food / coconut oil, took her to the thrift store, grocery store, and of course with me to my stay in Denver (long peaceful car rides). She spent time with a lot of people! Especially for Sarah's birthday party. You would have been proud how well-mannered she was and totally chill with everyone. She saw 15 different people for extended time periods (between my family, friends, and the party), and countless strangers. We didn't snuggle as much as I'd hope, but I honestly felt like she was on watch waiting for your return. The times I did notice how cuddly she was being were priceless as always. She wrapped her paw around my wrist to hold my hand when I got sad, she listened to every command, she was so friendly and lovable to everyone.
Thank you for raising such a wonderful dogter with me...It's so easy to do these things with her being amazingly well-behaved. She is going to FLIP OUT with EXCITEMENT to see you! I know the 10 months of her life before us will not feel as long as these 10 days have with missing you. I can't wait to see her reaction to you, being surprised to see you come home! I also obviously can't wait for your return either!
I want to make you feel as cherished as you are. I hope your arrival remains joyful to come home to a clean cottage (thanks to your girlfriend- who will be dressed-up) with a freshly bathed exuberant puppy, and that the fancy dinner I am planning for us turns out well. I am looking forward to spending some beautiful quality-time together.
I've been counting down the days, finally counting hours, 16 hours left babe! I hope I can sleep tonight despite the excitement to pick you up at the airport in the morning! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for our hugging embrace and sweet kisses, then to surprise our puppy! I love you and I can hardly wait to see you again.
With Love Always. <3
