Trip and I did it. We left at 0525 to catch the 0600 metro. 12 stops later, believe me I counted them, we got to our work stop and walked two blocks to the office. We made it in one hour turned around and came home. Trip only growled at one man who was apparently afraid of dogs. I was holding his leash close and told him "quiet" to let him know I was in charge of this situation and he responded so well. He is worn out and so am I. At one point there was standing room only on the train -- we had a seat-- and I was worried about the crowd and people being too close so I drew from him what I needed. There were two different men that kept staring but I held my tongue.

We are both exhausted.

Hilary,

You did great.
Was this a practice run? That is a lot of work for "practice."
You can feel that you accomplished something and are now ready to show up at the work time.

Maybe do something / think of something today that fills you with joy.

Hilary

Those two men, probably were thinking what a neat looking dog.


Or just couldn't find anything else to look at.



But you did a great job.

I took Trip to the vet today because he has a hard bump on his right rear leg. I noticed it two days ago. The vet took a sample and suggested sending the cells off to a lab because one of the cells had multiple nuclei and the other was abnormal. All I can think is cancer. I am so distraught. I am getting so many bad experiences and I don't think I can handle it. If Trip dies, I really have nothing to live for. He is my everything. I have to wait a couple days for the results and I can't help but think the worst, that would just compliment my life. I am so scared.

Hi, Hilary,

I hope that Trip is O.K.
Try to be patient while your vet gets back to you with the results.

Dear Hilary

I'm thinking of Trip. Sending you both good thoughts.
