I wonder how she’s doing...

When I was younger and either me or my sister went away, my parents would always sit around and say, “I wonder how she’s doing.”

Now it’s my turn. I dropped off the oldest for her big skiing sleepover with the Girl Fuides early this morning. She’s never been too good about going away. She gets very homesick. She was very excited and looking forward to this weekend so I know she’ll have lots of fun. It’s just hard to leave her when the tears are coming.

Meanwhile, Hera got her one year vaccinations. She got some liquid sprayed up her nose and two needles in her back legs. She was doing great until the evening. Then she started trembling. This morning when I picked her up to take her outside she whined when I put my hand on her back legs. Now she’s just sitting on the couch. She whines whenever we get close to her legs. They are swollen and very sore. But it’s all completely normal from what I’ve read. 

It’s hard to see someone you love in pain.

It’s going to be a bit of a different day here. Without one daughter and a sore puppy.
