I am sure they know there will be an adjustment.
Did you set up for there to be a phone call?
We didn't specify, but I have their number and they have mine. She also said she just got a digital camera and can send me pictures now and then.
I'll be fine once I get used to the idea of their being gone. For now...I want to go home and cry. And I just keep picturing the dogs' faces as I last saw them, especially Fiona.
