Meeting Friends

Being included in different aspects of Pet's life has been a large sense of comfort for me. It gives me the feeling that I am a big enough part of her life that she feels comfortable to include me in activities she would normally hold more private. Call it a security blanket if you will. It makes me feel special and it makes me feel all the more a part of who she is. It gives me an extra sense of togetherness and in a way makes me feel proud. I have a great sense of pride in owning her and that she includes me more as time progresses - making me feel more a part of her. As time goes on I feel less like an outsider or that her and I are alone - that I am not just a piece of her that never gets shared or that I am viewed as "that guy who is 14,000 miles away." It is hard to describe. It is not easy, for either of us, having this great gap of distance. The knowledge that our relationship has grown to encompass more than just Pet and myself makes it feel more secure, real, and makes me ever more determined to see things through. Knowing that despite the distance there is a deep sense of us being joined and that we are working towards being together again is a good feeling.

Last night was my first chance to spend time with some close friends of my Pet. A wonderful experience to be sure and one which really allowed me a glimpse into Pet's social life and made me feel together with her. On a personal level I guess I would call myself a bit subdued. I didn't join in as much as I may have liked, may have kept quiet a bit. I wish I had teased a bit more and played around. But it was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Pet - your friends are amazing and fun. I can not wait to have more fun times with them. It means a great deal to me that you took that step with me last night, inviting me into another part of your life and your world. You have made your Owner feel loved and appreciated. I could think of no greater gift you could have given me at this time of year than that which you did last night - including me amongst your friends and family. I felt accepted and it made me very happy.

You are amazing. Love You Pet
