sad news :(
well i got the news that every military wife dreads hearing. my husband is deploying :( this will be his first and certainly not his last. i knew in my heart this would be the year but we just found out 2days ago that on the 5th of may he will be leaving, so this is our last weekend together :'(
the fact that they told us on such short notice is whats bothering me the most. they are suppose to give him a month to do all the paper work and prepare but since they couldnt he has to cram everything in in a week so we have no time together, i mean that friday he will be in class from 7 am to 6pm so there is no time to spend together.
im wondering how this will affect baden and dollar. they are so use to him taking them out in the morning and feeding them at night. he even puts them to bed at night and i never have. its only for 4months but still it just eats at me that my husband is not going to be here with me and i will be alone. i have friends here in AR but no family as they are in Mi. i would go home but i would have to end our lease ans i dont want to do that.
he will miss both our birthdays and our anniversary :( i know its only 4months (16weeks or 120days) but its still hard to say goodbye. i always imagined that teddy would be here for me as he always filled me with joy, dont get me wrong i love dollar and baden but teddy was my heart. with him gone and now my husband i feel truly alone here :'(

I was sorry to hear of the deployment. I spent 18 years as an Army wife, and I live here in Clarksville which is right next to Ft Campbell. Deployments are pretty much the norm here, which is sorta sad when you think about it. The thing to remember is, you have friends...lean on them. You are responsible for not only yourself but your pups...so keep that in mind. You are alot stronger than you are giving yourself credit for, you can and will get thru this just fine!!

Oh,that part of MY Hubby being in the military when We were young wasn't too much fun.At least it's for a TDY right?Temporary duty?We got to deploy to Europe for 3 years and that was interesting,but He was due for a year at an isolated base (no family),when He got out.Worked out better for Us at the time.Those new fur babies will be a true blessing for You.Keeping them busy and healthy is a job in itself!They'll be able to pick up on Your sadness and will comfort You.120 days,let Us All help on here if You need Us.Take care!!

thank you:) what hes going on is a deployment, if it was TDY it would be only a week or maybe 3weeks which would be great instead of 4months lol i will be keeping my self very busy and i will not lock my self in the house and do nothing as not only i will suffer but so will the pups

Well basically that just sucks! I grew up in a military town and hope your friends rally around you. Make some new "normal" routines for you and the pups. We will be hoping and praying that his time deployed goes quickly.

this is difficult news! I hope it helps a little that many of us really truly appreciate the sacrifices you and your husband are making. I wish for him to return to you safely and that you and Dollar and Baden will bond even more while he is gone. Again,Thank you so much.
