    Gosh I feel like such an idiot

    I just got home from dropping my baby (cat) to a cattery for a week while we are in Cairns.

    The lady was so nice and I was feeling so guilty about putting him in there.

    When she was showing me out I just burst into tears and sobbed then sobbed the whole way home.

    Harry looked scared and miserable, I know he will be okay and safe but now I feel like such an idiot

    I cant believe I sobbed and then I think if I sobbed now hwo am I going to go when he leaves us

    Even the dog looked at me like I am unstable

    Don't feel bad, if anything happened to either of our dogs i would ball my eyes out.

    My dad was NOT a pet person, got drunk and bought home 2 kittens from a friends, 1 got run over and he was 'very' upset, the other lasted a few yrs and was around before they had more kids (we didn't live with them), they had to get her put down and he couldn't go because "it's not my thing" so my stepmum took her, came home bawling only to find dad in the shed with tears in his eyes.

    I feel your pain! And don't worry I became a nut case when we dropped our dog at the kennel for 9 days in October....cried all the way there and all the way home.....

    The conversation with DH in the car on the way home went like this:
    ME: (between sobs) - do you think when the dogs bark they all understand each other?
    DH: yes babe
    ME: so if she is barking and saying 'what the f** is going on why am I here?' another dog will bark back at her that her owners have gone on holiday and not to worry they'll be back sooner or later to pick her up?
    DH: yes babe
    ME: (dissolving into huge sobs) I really hope so....
    DH: you are far too attached to that dog babe

    LOL quite sad now I look back on it but hey they are our pets and we love them as part of the family..... the question is will you ring and check on Harry whilst you are away? Believe or not I didn't, but I did tear up a few times over the holiday and went to pick her up hours earlier than arranged when we got back!

    Have a great holiday

    I completely feel for you
    We dropped our dog off las Thursday for desexing, and DH had to practically drag me out of the surgery, because I wanted to stay with him all day.
    Felt like an idiot, but didn;t want him to think we were leaving him....

    its always hard leaving them even if for a little while they are your friends/family/furbabies just think of all those extra cuddles when you get back and enjoy your xmas in Cairns!
