This morning I packed his lunch, and wrote his name on the paper sack, and added a few toys and snacks to his little backpack.

He whimpered a little bit on the drive over to the day care. He seemed a little scared when we went into the house, but the fear seemed to wear off as he checked out all the different rooms and said hello to an older girl that was spending the day there as well.

I talked with the practitioner for a few minutes and when I got up to leave he got upset. The practitioner held him as I went to the door and he started crying. I went out the door and he ran up to it and jumped at the door and looked sadly out the window as I headed for the car.

He was still watching out the window as I pulled out of the driveway.

Does it ever get any easier when you drop them off?

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon...

that is so sad

POOR BONY

should I call and check on him?

Yes, he'll get over it eventually.

Awe, yes it does. I will never forget this feeling. It last for a couple of weeks but it really does get better.

Dammit gambo, I was hoping to string this along for sympathy for a while longer before it was revealed that I was talking about a dog.

i remember i used to cry when i had to go to kindergarten. if my kids do that it will break me.

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, my boy was just like me...MY BOY, WAS JUST LIKE ME!!!!!

LOL

To some people their dogs are like children, so I could see someone feeling that way.

I was thinking bony as well

and for the record, I put some dog food and biscuits in zip-locs, and took them over in a brown paper bag labeled "Bony G."


Mom got a kick out of that.

By the time you get to the third kid, you drop them off half dressed without a lunch and don't even flinch!

Just kidding but it does get easier and once they are in a routine, they do real well with it.

Scooter doesn't get to go to daycare. He just get locked up in the bedroom.

I think he likes it in there, he has a fort under the bed with about 20 socks and all of his toys.

My parents had my sister walk me into my first day of school

Her words to me "there is the kindergarten line, go stand over there. Bye"

You took Boney to doggie daycare? Sucker.

Doggie Day Care = My mom's house.

We are getting a new roof at my house today and I figured Bony would be going nucking futs if her were there, inside or out.

So he gets to spend the day with his Nana.

It will get easier over time...just damned tough the first few weeks.

Tell them there is a lady with a new toy and ice cream inside-then drive off after they get in the door.

Glad to help.

A while back, each morning, my daughter would drop-off my first grandaughter at day care. It was my job each day to pick up the baby at 1300 hours. I'd look for her in the "big room" until she would spot me. She would crawl to me as fast as she could and would grab me around the ankles; there was no way I was going to leave without her.

I love all the semi-serious answers that don't know we are discussing a dog.

OK, here's the question, when I go to pick everyone up, who will be more excited to see me?

My kids?

or the dog?

Aw poor baby

the dog - he doesn't know any better!

Tree Hugger ...

Brilliant work on this one.
