The Army life can be a hard one, especially when conflicts are involved. I guess you just have to toughen up a bit and get used to it. It's not an easy world to be involved with
Its hard I know Hayley, but you know from your friend that Indi is doing just fine and I bet the kids won`t want her to leave by the time you go to pick her up.
i`m assuming she`s with Gaji`s mum?, so she with a dog she knows well, that`ll make her happy and having little people to play with will be a big bonus for her.
The funeral will be that much harder for you because Adam won`t be there with you and I`m sure he`d want to be but life doesn`t always give us what we want.
You know we are all here for you, not the same as being there but sadly we can`t do much about that, I`m not sure how your neighbours would take to a 100 or so LFers turning up with the same amount of Labs or more, not to mention other breeds
Chin up and remember each passing day brings Adam closer to being home again ((((Hugs))))
I've been part of an army family all my life., My dad was involved in Aden, other middle east conflicts, the Falklands War and the first gulf war. Nothing you are going through is exclusive. It's painful, and it's as scary as anything.
But it's a way of life you chose as a military wife, just like my mum did. You have to get on with it, and deal with it. I don't envy you - because I've lived through it - but still, you have to get a grip and deal with it.
I simpathise with you.The 6 weeks on my own after Benji went to the bridge were the most miserable and tearful weeks since I lost my father in 1997.
You'll be rejoining him again soon,keep that in mind !!

From reading your posts you have been through a lot lately,But she'll be with you before you know it,it must be awful,id hate it too.Even though there are 5 of us at home,when Ted was at the vets for a few hours it was awful,just so quiet without him(? if that makes sense).Keep your chin up and just look forward to seeing your gorgeous girlie,lots of love n hugs xxxxxx
Awww Hayley, we're all the same. Even when me and my OH are lying on some beach with all-inclusive beer on the side-table we constantly say "Ivan would love that sea" or "Milly would love sunbathing here" and we're so desperate to get home to see them. My bro looks after them and he gets so fed up with us ringing every day.
I would agree with bringing Indi up to the bedroom. I did that when OH was visiting his parents last Christmas and we've never looked back. I'm no longer waking in the middle of the night wondering if its burglars or if he's digging his crate or .....worse.....ill in his crate. Indi will surprise you at how well-behaved she will be.
Plus we found a really useful reason for having the dogs upstairs with us, the other night I woke to Milly jumping on my side of the bed and Ivan licking my face (they never bother OH, they've realised its not worth the effort). The smoke alarm was beeping and we had slept right through it ...... but the dogs "saved" us. The batteries only needed changing, but it gave additional affirmation that dogs upstairs is a good thing.

Chin up hunni.
I think you're a superstar. If people knew the whole truth, they'd think you were a trooper to be coping right now and certainly nobody would be telling you to toughen up or get a grip
Indi will be just fine, you'll be here a week and then home with her, and you and Adam will be back together soon. Once you get through the first month the time will start flying until he gets home
