(((((((((((((((((((((((((lav))))))))))))))))))))))))))
How about finding some good books to read? Take some time to re-arrange your bedroom? Clean out your computer of files you don't need? Take some nice long walks with the pups? Teach the pups new tricks? Teach yourself new tricks?  Find a camera and take some neat photos and share them? Donate some time to a homeless shelter? Call the Red Cross and see if they could use some assistance? Just some ideas to help keep yourself busy, maybe you can come up with more! Why don't you list some ideas here and get some feedback? I'll bet others have more ideas too  Good luck hon, I'm sure things will be fine and you will wonder where those 3 weeks went so quickly. Remember to breathe and take good care of YOU!  J |

I agree with sabau2...find some ways to distract yourself and keep busy and happy! Playing with your dog can be a great way to do that.
Stay positive. I know that you will stay happy and healthy! |

Sorry hon, I know it must be so difficult for you.
How about looking at family pictures. Maybe remembering good times you had with them will help. You can get lost in the good memories of things to while-away the hours

Thats wonderful steph! Keep the good thoughts coming and your chin up! I know you can make it through this time. Take the opportunity to enjoy some quiet "me" time. Walking with the pups is great too
