It was only after reading over the message again that I noticed she used her pet name for me. More affection...

In terms of validation is it OK to thank her for the kind thoughts and tel her how nice I thought they were? I want to express happiness that she found a place and doesn't have to worry about that, and understanding for the difficulty of the car situation. I also want to ask about the dog bc that is an actual practical matter that affects me. For my trip I just want to say that it has been a unique experience and I have learned a lot, met and reunited with cool people. I do also really want to include the foto of me and our friends. It feels appropriate and is such a happy moment and it is in response to the pic she sent me of the dog.

I am so tempted to use my pet name for her in response but I think that might be pursuitish.
