I left snippy at home last night so she could play with the other dogs for a week. I could tell she was getting lonely. When I got home last night, my mind heard her barking. I keep hearing her usual sounds, but when I turn around, she’s not there. I even tried not to step on her as I came in the door, just out of habit. It was weird not turning on the light for her so she could jump up on the bed. Now it’s morning and she usually likes to sit on my lap while I check my email, before she bores of that and sleeps on the futon behind me. So I’m sad. I didn’t think I’d miss her so much, so soon.
