Pele may be a little lonely now especially if he was close to the other dog. They do like the security of having another animal there especially when their humans are gone extended periods of time. You may need to get another friend for him. If it was me and I decided to get another animal, I would probably get a puppy. That way he doesn't feel threatened or intimated. Maybe you could ask your former roomate to rub a blanket on his/her dog (to get the dog's scent on it) and offer that to your baby(under supervison) and see how he reacts. It might be comforting to him. Good luck to you and I hope that everything works out. |
