T Minus 3

We are going to Canada in THREE DAYS!  I am so excited.  I haven't been to Canada since October 2012!  My bestie and her family live in Alberta.  She grew up in Edmonton, where her parents and sister still live, and now she and her husband and their son live an hour and a half from there.  So we are going to Edmonton for a few days, then traveling to their house for the rest of the time.  In total, we'll be there a week.  

We have so much stuff planned.  West Edmonton Mall which includes a water park, an amusement park, restaurants and of course shopping.  A hockey game (my first!), horror movies, popcorn, baking, pictures, and we might even get a besties tattoo!

Speaking of tattoos, I have an appointment April 2nd to get a tattoo in memory of Jax.  I can't wait!

Anyway, three days to go.  

My friend is lending me her boy frenchie this afternoon to snuggle with through Saturday.  I feel as though I'm in a weird place.... I have a huge Jax-shaped hole in my heart that doesn't seem to want to close up at all.  I don't cry myself to sleep anymore - in fact, I haven't cried for him at all in a week - but that doesn't mean I don't still miss him terribly.  It just feel so wrong to only have one dog because Jax wasn't even 3 years old.  He wasn't supposed to go yet.  So anyway, my friend is lending me her fawn-black-mask, boy frenchie who is just a month younger than Jax was.  

So for a few days, we'll have 2 dogs.  One brindle, one fawn.  One girl, one boy.  Just like it should be.
