Thanks everyone for your kind words and prayers.

Andrew hasn't called yet, but I know that he didn't get on the flight he was supposed to. Not enough seats! So, he had to catch a flight to Kuwait City and then from there to Iraq. I am sure he was exhausted by the time he got there. He was suppposed top leave at 4 PM, but ended up waiting till 9 PM to take off!!

Last night was tough. I didn't sleep well and Drake spent most of the night at the front door whining. He came and cuddled when he would hear me cry. He is a sweet heart.

On the brighter side, I have a job now and start on Monday. It couldn't have come in a better time. I didn't want to have an excuse to mope around and through myself into a depressive state. I am on a contract till October. I had my training and certification course last week. I will be preparing taxes at the tax center on post. It is all done with the computer, but I had to get certified for the software and learn all my tax laws! My boss is a very good friend of ours. He told me that I could bring Drake in after lunch everyday! I will bring his crate and out it in the break room incase Drake is getting in my way while I am helping a client.

Drake has a new girlfriend! Her name is Nikita and she is a GSD. The wife of another officer who left with Andrew owns her. They have met at the park a few time and get along well. So, Anna and I are going to meet every Friday afternoon after work for Drake and Nikita to play.

Trying to keep myself busy. Once again, thanks everyone!
