pennsylvania

i am leaving for the national hand conference tomorrow. that means i had to find a place for j-man. i have been researching for over a month to find the perfect (and reasonable) place to board him. one of my bosses suggests a place in pennsylvania (craigs k9 estates) that has acres of land, personal rooms that have heat and air to sleep and eat, great pics online and of course-my bosses blessing. i think this couldn't be better. as this day approaches, i am emailing with the owner to iron out details-as they pic j up in the city and drive him out there. they say they will take good care of him etc. i couldn't be more excited!! however, this morning he is supposed to be picked up and the driver is late. i have to throw jackson back in the apt with his leash still on, leave his food at the front desk, call the driver tell him i'm leaving and pray j is ok with a random picking him up and wisking him away...i of course start bawling as i walk to work and call bryan. he was so understanding and positive it was amazing. probably the only way i was able to actually work this am!! around 10 the driver finally called and said j was with him, was great and didn't cause any problems. a little peace of mind. i never heard anymore all day, so i emailed the owner and she said he'd already eaten and played in the rain and was adjusting well. finally, my heart could be still. the best part of the day was this...

i am so lucky!!
