The first day gone

well, today was the day that Jake had to leave for training. He is getting ready for his next deployment over seas and the army is, of course, keeping him super busy with training! He isn’t allowed to come home while he is in training, I think they are trying to make it seem like part of their deployment so that the families and men can get used to being apart. He left at about 6am this morning and took the fully loaded car down to the base. Lela whined a little after he left but soon settled down and went back to sleep with me for awhile.

I am working twelve to nine this week so i slept in a little bit after Jake left and took lela out after I got ready. Well, I noticed she wasn’t feeling well but just thought it was from a bone she ate last night and didn’t think twice about leaving her in her crate all day. She isn’t used to staying in her crate all day so I knew she would be hyper when I got home, but instead she was sick and had made a gross mess all in her cage because she had such a bad stomach ache. Well, that wasn’t really what I wanted to come home to but I got it all cleaned up and gave her a bath . This kept me occupied til 11:00pm so the first night alone without Jake has really passed quickly.

I am now just hoping that Lela starts to feel better soon. She drank lots of water tonite and ate a little bit of rice and chicken broth as well as an immodium…lets hope that helps!
