9 sleeps and counting...

Where does the time go?  It seems only a few months ago that I had so many weeks and months ahead of me to get ready and suddenly I am in the single digit count down.  Yikes!

We are ready to go.  All of the fundraising is done, our bags are almost packed, list on top of list is made, a couple more appointments to get our "official" papers signed but that is it.  Both Slice and Pint are in great shape and ready to get on the plane and show the world what they've got.

As excited as I am to get this journey off the ground, I am leaving with mixed emotions as I leave my old boy at home.  Porter is not getting any younger and every day is a treasure.  However, if it wasn't for Porter, I certainly wouldn't be on this journey to begin with.  So even though he will be in good hands with my husband, parents and Amanda, I will still be worried about him every day.  At the other end of the spectrum, our little baby boy Sniper will be changing so much over the two weeks I am gone.  I will leave a 12 week old puppy and come home to a new puppy that has learned so much while I have been gone.
