Oh, I totally understand. I hate being away from my Yorkies! They hate it too. I don't feel as bad if it is only me that is away....then at least I know they are with the rest of the family. But, if we are all going to be away, it is just too much...I'm starting to take them with us everywhere!
You (and the dogs) are so lucky to have the adult children to love and care for them. I know you miss them so much, and they miss you too, but at least you can rest assured that they are being loved and well taken care of...well except the sledding and dragging...lol!
Hope your husband heals well!!! Take care sweetie!
