Stay strong Louise, I'll be thinking of you today. I know she is your baby girl and your so worried about how she's going to be but you know she'll get into the car and head off on a whole new big adventure, she'll see new things, be meeting new dogs, a new house & garden to investigate and she'll be loved and cared for just as well as you did
We all like to think that our dogs can't manage without us and will pine and mope missing us but you know when we got Sophie at about 2 years old she jumped into our car without a backward glance, charged round our house, ate Connors dinner then jumped into bed with me and fell asleep - she was never depressed or down just ran round getting to know her new surroundings, played with Connor and got on with it as if nothing had changed for her at all.
Good luck for today xx
