This week I learned that long road trips with minimal stops can stress out my boy. Once in WA we stopped by the vet where he spent the night getting started on antibiotics and IV fluids. He was a trooper throughout. He was back to his carefree self a few hours after I picked him up.
The hardest part of the trip was leaving my boy with friends while I take on a slightly longer work trip. He is such an important constant for me and to be without him is going to be harder than I thought. This is the snapshot I took as I left him and got in to my truck to drive away. Yup, I was crying.
