Stormy day...

Today was a different day. It was pretty rough, emotionally. I worked the late shift, and before I went to work we had a pretty intense thunder storm. Zeppelin, although having a good day, was more scared and anxious than normal during this storm. I stayed with her until it had passed, thankfully in time for me to go to work. But after I got to work, there were several more storms that came through. They were intense and I was really worried about her. Of course I know I'm probably over-protective of her, and now I'm even more protective. I don't want her to get stressed and be by herself when I could be there to help her. I knew it was just a storm, she'd be scared, and then be ok, but I still was very worried and felt trapped not being able to leave work to be with her. I went home during my lunch break to check on them (everyone was scared during the storm, by the way, not just Zep), and they were fine. It just made me think about the future and if she starts going downhill, I want to be able to be with her. I hate having to leave her. So, in the end the day was ok, but it did help me to look at things from another point of view.
