Okee Off to Sweet Pea

Well, I let my baby go off to camp "sweet pea" this week. Camp is probably too primitive of a word, as the name is actually "Sweet Pea's Pet Resort." She will be well-pampered there....that's for sure! (check it out at http://www.sweetpeaspps.com/) Anyways....boy, did I feel a little depression the last few hours before taking her. If you didn't know better, you would have thought I had just dropped off my 5-year old at kindergarten for the first time. We really bonded yesterday (which didn't help things). She slept beside me on the couch all day when I wasn't feeling well.


At first I didn't even think Okee would say goodbye to us as we were leaving the resort; she was having such a blast. But then she came out and walked Josh and me to the front gate as if to say..."I'll be fine!" Even though these people certainly seemed to know their stuff .. the mother in in me couldn't help but ask a few more questions when we got there. When I was told she would sleep not only in the owners house (inside..this is like a pet hotel vs. motel)....but in their bedroom....I could let her go knowing she would be well-watched and cared for. The reason she gets special treatment is because she is part-pug, and the owners love pugs! God really looked after us. Our first parenting drop off...and a praise that Josh and I decided and agreed on such a big decision together. :)
