Ok, time to try this again since I just lost my first post... grrr.. anyway...
I think the ladies have pretty much covered all the important questions and concerns you have brought up, but I can totally understand missing your dog. I started school last year and it broke my heart to leave my puppies. Luckily, my b/f's apt building is beside a small family owned restaurant where two big dogs roam. We're so pathetic we buy them treats and let them come inside to play (no animals allowed and they stink!!) But the reason I'm posting.... go find an animal shelter close to your school (make sure it's a no kill shelter) and volunteer there whenever you want a little fur attention. I'm sure they will greatly appreciate the help, the dogs will appreciate the extra attention and love, and its a sure bet to brighten your day. You might even be able to take the dogs for a long walk (ours lets us). That way you can hit two birds with one stone.. exercise and pupply love!
Hang in there, things will get better. Good luck in your first year of school.... you never know.. it may just turn out to be easier than you think.
