Every once in awhile obligations come up which force us to pack our bags and leave our kiddos behind. This past weekend I got a little taste of what it's like to be a few states away from my animals, and let me tell ya... it was much harder than I anticipated.
I had a tennis tournament this past weekend and had to leave my animals on Friday and did not return until Monday night around 11:00. Luckily, my sister volunteered to babysit my animals while I was gone, but I worried about how they would handle me being away for four days.
When the tournament finally concluded on Monday, we ventured back to Kansas. The car ride felt like days, but we made it back to Topeka and as I arrived to my apartment, I couldn't contain my excitement as I walked up the stairs. When I opened the door, Phinn and Clyde acted like little children on Christmas morning. They were so happy their momma was finally home.
And although I was mentally and physically exhausted from the tournament, I forced myself to stay up for a couple hours so I could hang out with them.
They say it's nice to have someone to come home to. For me it just happens to be a couple of adorably furry creatures.

That's so sad! I know how it feels to leave someone so adorable behind!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your pets after you have been away for a while is the best feeling in the world, hands down!
