As most of you know, after joining the group a month or so later I had to move away down to DC. Jobs up in Vermont were few or not paying enough to stay where we settled for the time. So it was sorta forced before I went completely bankrupt.

In the event I allowed Chris to keep Roxi to keep him company and knowing that the home I was moving to had a dog that wouldn't get along with her.

A few months later and I'm feeling the harsh pangs of missing her dearly. I wonder if anyone else has been through this?

We've done the long distant relationship deal before when I moved to Germany for a few months. So mom and dad are fine..

mom just misses her puppy.. Its hard to be away from your 'kid' and only having videos, pictures and stories and holiday meetings.

Its heartening to know that she still knows me as 'mom' though. Every time I leave she apparently looses clumps of hair (though i hate adding that extra stress to her life) and when I visit or see her, she follows me around and basically lives in my lap the whole time. This is about once a month.

Its about five or six more months before we all move back to normal life again. He has a contract with his work and having a good relationship with them, he doesn't want to break it. Which I respect him more for doing.

Don't know why I felt the need to pop this up. I guess it just felt like the right place for these thoughts.

I really do miss my little girl.
