1 Week Ampuversary!

Our first milestone as new members of the tripawd community. One of the hardest weeks of my life. Spent through every emotion I think I contain and somehow made it through the first week.

I’m grateful today. Grateful to have my baby boy laying next to me. Grateful to be able to kiss his nose and snuggle as close as he’ll let me. Grateful to have been able to take the week off from work to watch over his recovery. And so grateful to all of you. Your support, well wishes, advice, and stories helped maintain some shred of sanity.

Tomorrow i will return to work and I’m anxious. Nervous to leave him. Although i think he’s ready for a little space. I catch him starring at me with this ‘quit hovering mom’ look. He’s always been so independent and stubborn.

And I’m a bit excited to get back to some normalcy.  Talk to adults, as they say. Catch up on some pressing projects that I’m sure have not moved from my desk. My boss is a dog lover and so understanding.  Plus I have no kids of my own and she knows my pups are my family.

Short and sweet tonight. Some pics from today.

Love in Atlanta,

Jamie, Bentley, & Bailey

  1. HOPPY AMPUVERSARY! You did it! I know it seems like you’ll never get there, but each big milestone makes you feel so much stronger. You’re on your way.

  2. Thanks Jerry! We are definitely on our way! I saw that karma was here in GA. I get in touch with her. Her husky is so stunning!

  3. HAPPY ONE WEEK AMPUVERSARY BENTLEY!!! Your pictures are sooooo sweet! I want to come over and nap with you!

    I know the first two weeks are so exhausting. Everyday brings you closer to “normal” and getting back into refular routines and sleep patterns. Hang in n there, you’re doing great…and so is Bentley!!

    .maybe you could have someone check on Bentley during the day so you won’t worry. He’ll be glad to have the house to himself. Hope he doesn’t throw a crazy dog lawty while you’re at work!!

    Hugs to a@l!

    Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
