Yesterday, I plucked up my courage yet again and emailed my H for 2 favors: 1) watch our dog next week 2) take our dog to swimming.
It included telling him that I didn't invite him to the trip because I thought he wouldn't be interested in going with me. I felt I needed to tell him this. I asked him to watch our dog because he mentioned several times (a) he wished he could take our dog with him and (b) that he worries about her arthritis. This way, it gives him a chance to step up and take care of her out of the kindness of his heart. He does love her, I think.
Today, he responded: I have been thinking about <dog>. I leave for work at 5:30 AM and do not get home until ~6:15PM. Isn’t that too long for her? I do not want her to get a kidney infection.
If I would take her to her hydro therapy, how would I do that? Where is it? I hope you enjoy your trip.
I hoped and prayed he’d help out BUT I wasn’t expecting such a positive response. It really did touch me that he was willing to help and didn’t decline outright. I am thankful. And still surprised.
