I'm very anxious Here is the thing. I will be leaving the week of X-mas to visit my mother in AZ. I haven't seen her in 3 years and she has been very sick. I bought my ticket back in September and have been quite happy. Fast forward to now........and I have been extremely preocupied and anxious about leaving my husband behind with our 4 furkids. (Yorkie, cat, toy poodle, and hamster). Since I got married (3 years ago) I have never been away from him/them a day. We decided that it would be a good idea to go visit her by myself and then we could take a trip together in the Spring. The pets are super attached to me and I can't get the idea of me being away without them out of my mind :eek: I have nightmares, I have anxiety, I sweat bullets, I have even considered cancelling the trip altogether. I know my husband is an excellent fur-parent and they will be in great hands, BUT the unkown is killing me. I keep thinking........what if this? what if that? etc. It's basically affecting my sanity right now. I know I sound RIDICULOUS to some, but I truly don't know how to act. I don't think I will enjoy my trip if I keep this up. I HAVE to go see my mom, because if something were to happen (God forbid) I would never forgive myself for having put it off this long. I go to nursing school all year round. No vacation between semesters, no summers off, no nothing. The only time I get is a 2 week vacation in December. Right now, I collected them all and put them in the room with him to watch tv together. They are scratching and whining at the door because they want to be here with me. Talk about pulling my heart strings :( Please pray for me and my babies. I am a firm believer of prayer. I pray for peace in my heart and mind. I pray that everything goes smooth and sound. I am in the final weeks of my Medical surgery rotation and I NEED to concentrate. Finals are creeping around the corner and I NEED to focus. Thanks for letting me vent. I can't do that to my hubby as I am afraid he will think I don't trust him with my babies. Jess |
At least they will be in a familar environment and with at least one person they know. Not to sound rude, but trust me, it'll probably be harder on you than on them. :p |

No, not at all. |
Jessy, if you believe in the power of prayer, then you ALSO believe that our Father won't ask more of you than you are capable of giving. You MUST go see your Mom, so...... Let the Lord have your problem and HE will find the solution.... but, after you give HIM the problem, you must let it go and concentrate on those things that require your immediate attention. Your furkids will do just fine with hubby while you are gone. Right now they KNOW where you are and WHAT you are doing and they are feeling hurt 'cause you have locked them out. |

I know exactly how you feel. I have never left Cali for more than a day and that was to fly to Colorado last month when my BIL passed away. We managed to leave early and fly back late that night. The most i have left any of my dogs for is 5 days and that was once. I was a wreck but he was fine at home with a relative staying with him. I know they do just fine without us but I still don't like to leave them. I also get anxiety when I have to leave them so dont feel bad, just try and relax and have a good visit with your Mom. You won't regret it. We're here to help you through it. |
Your babies will be fine! Hey, at least they're going to have their dad home with them. Can you imagine how you'd be feeling right now if he wasn't going to be with them and you had to leave them with a friend or in a kennel?? Be thankful for him! Besides, they'll probably have a blast when mom's away! :p |
Jess, Bless your heart! I can hear your pain and anxiety through your post. How about asking your mom to come and visit you and your family. You could offer to pay for her flight? Just wondering here. But if not, I am sure all will work out. I am in a similar predicament as I am flying to AZ this coming weekend to pick up my newest show girl and am leaving my three yorkies, and Smooth fox terrier who is great with them, but he doesn't keep up with them like I do. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. All will work out! |

Yeah, yeah, yeah, my hubby has taken care of my furkids too..... and I won't BEGIN to tell you how "rotten" they were when I got home.... Not only did he take excellent care of the kids, he also had them so that no one in my house needed a clock -- we went by "treat time." :D |
I dont think your being ridiculous at all, I would probably be the same way! Lillie would have to go on the trip with me! |
