I am sure she totally appreciated the fact that you can help her out and take the puppy, as it is one less thing she has to worry about on deployments. As I know you worry about a lot of stupid things when you are gone and there isn't anything you can generally do about it. She is blessed to have you and you her!!!
You have a wonderful day and sew up a storm!!!
I wish I were home sewing today. I own an espresso stand and I work all day today so I won't be home till later and by time I get home....sewing is on the back burner at that point....but maybe this weekend I will get the opportunity.
Take care of yourself!
