My dog is at the vet today. He's having his teeth cleaned - His breath was so bad you could smell him from across the room! This has involved a general anaesthetic and an all day stay for him.
Having the house empty of him has reminded me of the days when I first stopped smoking. There's just this big gap in my life but actually it's quite nice. Liberation from all those learned behaviours like:
Do no leave the cellar door open or he will get at the cat food, do not open the front door without checking first that there's no postman or newspaper boy, or milkman there. The list goes on and on and it is wierd but nice.
Giving up smoking was wierd too. I had to unlearn behaviour then too but soon realised how nice it was not to have to make all those adjustments to allow me to smoke.
Anyway, the big difference is that the dog thing is temporary and I am about to go and pick him up but the smoking thing is definitely permament!
Just thought I'd share.....
