Claritytoo~ thank you for the suggestion. It usually does work out for me to cry! I think I'm so drained right now, though, that that's not an option.

Thank you, Betsylou, as well, for your suggestion.

I have opted to board her till Tuesday when I take her back to the kennel. I needed the distance and am hoping that feelings don't come flooding back when I pick her up on Monday afternoon for the night. Man, this is really tough to get so attached.
