Hi TCS friends! It's been a while, I've been lurking and posting very little, which I am sorry about. I feel like I am out of the TCS bubble and I don't feel as at home here as I used to, since I haven't been around much...

I just feel like I need to talk today, because my poor baby Jake had such a stressful day. His grandparents, my parents who spoil him rotten are gone on a two week vacation, and I've brought him to my boyfriend's apartment where I am saying also :( He loves my parents more than he loves me, I am sure,  because I am the mean one who gives him meds, cuts his nails, etc..and they just always always give him sooo much attention, and he just craves their attention. He is sooo sad that they are gone!! .And he could tell they were going to leave today by all of the suitcases and he was in such a bad mood the whole day..  I brought some of their clothes here to the apartment, and as soon as he smelled them, his face lit up and he started looking around to see if they are here :( 

On top of that, it was his annual exam day, and I took him to the vet. He had blood taken out and a stool sample taken, so he felt very much violated lol..This is sooo much stress for him usually boring kind of life that just consists of bird watching all day and getting rubbed by his favorite people...

I don't know why I am so sad too!! I think I am overreacting, I just feel like my parents' presence is still at their house and I want to go there!! Gosh this happens every time people leave to go somewhere, I get so sad...IF I am the one going away I never feel sad, but if someone leaves I just look at all their belongings and get sad that they aren't there..I am too sensitive of a person lol...

Here is Jakey on the way to the vet...I took this at a traffic light..he was soo calm!! Usually, I put the carrier in the back seat with Jake, and as soon as the car starts he crawls right into the carrier. But this time, the noise of the engine didn't bother him, he just sat in the seat and relaxed, and I put him in the carrier right before walking into the vet's office...

Aww!  Jake looks so cute sitting there like that!  It's funny how sensitive some animals are.  My in-laws dog looses weight every time they leave.  I think my 2 are sensing something is up.  (They are about to get a new furless sibling.
)  Mooch has been at my hip so to speak.  Even if it means being in DD's reach!

Thanks guys
Poor Jake was under the bed the whole night :( I brought him back home, we will stay here because he is so much more comfortable here...I also bought him a toy that sounds like a bird each time he throws it, a catnip ball and a catnip filled mouse, and some treats this morning, hopefully it distracts him from being sad.
