I don't know if this should go in Good News, Venting or Musing. It's kind of all three, but I guess it's mostly good...
I got a call last night from a number I didn't recognize, which I never pick up. They left a voicemail so I listened right away, and it was a customer from the dog daycare I just left. She owns one of my FAVORITE dogs in the whole world (I love her second dog, too.) The voicemail was basically saying how sad she was that I left, how much the dogs would miss me, and how much she appreciated knowing that I loved her pups just as much as she and her husband do.
I was in tears not even halfway through the message. I actually had to go back and listen to the second half later one because I started crying so immediately that I could barely focus on what she was saying. I can't explain how much it meant to me. On my last day, I bought some tracheas for my 5 favorite dogs, and left notes explaining that it was my final day there and that I'd really miss them. Customers don't have employee phone numbers, so that means that she must have gotten the gift, read the note, and then gone through the trouble of asking for my phone number and then made the effort to get in touch with me to tell me these things. I just... I can't get over it. My poor boyfriend must've thought I was crazy because I couldn't stop crying.
It has been so hard to leave, and then to get that call? I'm so happy and so sad at the same time.
