I've been crying all morning.

Nika is going away for two weeks, to siberian husky nationals. We have never left her longer than overnight. I saw her little chewy squirrel and just lost it. She will have fun - she is traveling with 20 other huskies, and will see all her litter mates - but I am beyond upset.

((hugs))

can you ask her handler to send you pics/video?

[Deleted]

Yes. But she is super busy and may not do it.

Your kid is going to camp!

We've been saying this all morning. If she were a human child's he would be old enough for summer camp and we would send her. I got so mopey, then asked DH how people send their 5 y/olds off to boarding school. We had even considered boarding school for our future kids. But if I can't let the dog go how will I let out children go?

Awwww, hope 2 weeks goes fast!

update: DH and I are going to New York next week. He is changing his return flight to fly through Michigan. He will then spend the last week of nationals with Nika. So I won't be with her but DH will and that makes me feel much better.

I'm glad your DH will get to be with her. Hopefully the time will pass quickly and she'll be back home before you know it!

Hmm. Is there a competition in Michigan?

I'm glad he gets to see her! He can send you pics as well!

Two weeks is a long time, I'd be a mess too! You'd think being gone that long would affect their performance. Maxim is a hot wreck after not seeing us for a week, and Buddy has been known to go on hunger strikes.

None of this is helpful. My dogs are insane - your dog will do great

Sometimes i wish I could call or text my dog during the workday

We usually vacation places that Lucy can come because I can't stand leaving her. I get you.
