WE SENT our Indonesian helper away today. We did not feel especially emotional about it; she had worked for us for 9 months from May till January. But, I noticed that it was the dogs who tried to alert me that something was different: That “she” was gone!
Tonight, Hally, our golden retriever, barked at me, which was quite unusual (he had not barked at me for years), even though I had already walked them earlier in the night. I thought he was telling me that “she” is not home yet.
(at 4 years 2 months 28 days)
