Its hard

[Armas]

This is the first time in the last 10 months that I have left France and my boy for any length of time.
When he was away being schooled I would see him most days......
I am now in the UK for the next 10 days doing the family festive thing and feel rather discombobulated, I know he is being well looked after.
Does any one else have separation issues when they go away.

 

[jeeve]

certainly used to, not now days... it's great to have a good bond with them

I never go away on holiday, because i just can not be apart from my animals About 4 years ago we went to france for 4 days, i cried as i left them, and believe me im a person that never crys.
I couldnt do 10 days.

I'm the same. Can't bare to be away from my animals. Although it has all been made worse by what happened last time I did go on holiday Havn't been on holiday since.
I've been up to visit my parents a couple of times lately. I go up on the Friday and come back on the Sunday so only realy one day without seeing my ponies but i'm on the phone every hour asking my OH if the boys are ok

I feel guilty if I don't see my horses for one night!

Although I know they're safe and well looked after I still worry all night about them until I see them the next day.

I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and although looking forward to the holiday I'm dreading not seeing them, or my cats and dog for a week

I'm currently going bonkers as have only seen mine once since last Thurs lunchtime & that 'once' was because DH took me there on Sat morning under threats of divorce if he didn't!.
Unfortunately, everyone is up against it at this time of the year for me to blag lifts from etc....
Just enjoy your break Armas & you'll make up for it when you get back, I'm sure

Yes I struggle and worry about him even though he is looked after very well by a lady that knows what she is doing. Next year I have somehow agreed to go away to France for 2 weeks - I have not been on holiday for two weeks ever in adult life (20 years)!!!
I force myself not to think about it until I get there but I am not sure how I will manage! They will have to be 2 pretty busy weeks!

I went away in October for a week. But hubby was here looking after the animals. I went home to surprise my sister in America. To be honest if I can really trust the people I don't worry. Things happen when I'm here too. If it happens I'm sure whoever I entrusted would do the right thing. Having said that currently I have no one I know fitting that description. The ones I'd trust have enough on their plates already.

I'm a student and have my two mares at college in England, my parents live in Germany and I'm not allowed to stay at college over Xmas... Have to leave my girls for 2 weeks I hate it Obviously I love seeing my family and miss them very much, but I just worry about them 24/7. Then when I go back to college, I've got my 2 bunnies who live with my parents in Germany to worry about over here!! Can't wait until I finish my last year and I can have all my babies in one place.
