Summer’s almost over; days are getting shorter and the trip is getting closer.
With only a month left till take off it’s as though I can actually feel the time slipping through my fingers. Like sand — it seems like a lot yet it’s really so little. I feel that with each day comes a new thing I will miss. For example, my house, the island, and little things like the sheets on my bed and how during the summer the upstairs and the downstairs are never the same temperature. Though there is one thing — or should I say three things — that from the very beginning have always been on the top of my list. The doggies.
Our dogs: Wasabi (French Bulldog), Mochi (Cavachon = King Charles Cavalier Spaniel + Bishon), and Guinness (Bernese Mt.) will be taken care of by a family friend who will be living at our house for the year.
Although the dogs can be very unruly, words cannot describe how much I’ll miss them. If you haven’t met them and gotten to know them then you wouldn’t know how bad they can get… and well… they can get pretty bad. But you also wouldn’t know how great they can be and how funny, adorable, lovable, and especially loving they are. Sometimes I think they’ll forget about me. One year is seven to them, right? But I know that it doesn’t matter how much time passes and how many miles are between us. It also doesn’t matter that the dogs probably like our family friend more than us because she actually takes them on walks. The thing that matters is that I love them 
So in the end it’s true that I’ll miss them and it’s true that I love them but like my parents say, “Nothing will change. When we get back everybody will still be doing the same thing.”
