She'll be fine...right? Will I?

Tomorrow I'm going to NYC for the weekend. I'm telling you this for two reasons: 1) I know you will be anxiously waiting for my next post, but it won't be happening for a few days, so please try to make it through the weekend without me; 2) I will be gone from Ely for three full days, and I worry about her, especially with only my husband to take care of her. This is a way better option than boarding her though, so I shouldn't complain.

Not that my husband is incapable or anything. I know they will both be fine. I think. On the weekend they will sleep in and cuddle in bed until noon probably, and then hang out on the couch watching football, basketball, or any other sport that is on. I'm sure Ely will be fine.

It's just that I remember one time I was gone in the evening, so the only thing I asked him to do when he got home from work was to feed her. Did he remember to do it? No. If I don't remind him to feed her, change her water, take her out, etc., I fear he may forget. But again, I'm sure she will be fine.

Since I am currently working from home/looking for full-time employment, I am with Ely almost all day, every day, and we've gotten quite attached. In fact, she is sleeping in my lap right now as I type. I think that I will miss her more than she will miss me. Cesar says dogs live in the present, not in the past, so once I'm gone I'm sure she'll forget about me in about two minutes, which, come to think of it, doesn't really comfort me. So really, I think I am the one who will have a harder time being gone from her than she will from me. I think I just worry too much about her. I wonder if that's how it feels when you have kids?

Anyways, I'm off to New York, and despite being gone from Ely, I am very excited. I haven't been there in a couple of years, and it's going to be all pretty and decorated for Christmas, which I cannot wait to see. And most of all, I am visiting one of my best friends who I met nearly six years ago while we studied abroad in Paris, the best city in the world. Look at this. I love it.

Don't worry. I have about 100 more pictures just of the Eiffel Tower, like this one, which I also love.

OK, I'm sorry, just one more. I can't help it. It's so pretty!

I'll save the rest for another day. I also have about 1,000+ more pictures of my five months spent in Europe, but if I keep thinking of Paris I'm going to miss it even more than I already do. So for now I'll focus on New York and having a good time...and trying not to miss Ely. I'll just think of when I get to come home to her and she's so excited she will run in circles around the couch about 50 times and dance around on her back legs wanting me to pet her. I miss her already.
