Maximus has just started getting really bad with the crying when I leave
....lately when I am doing my hair in the morning he will whine and cry..I realized it is because he knows I am leaving soon (it is usually the last thing I do before I go in living room and close the gate)..I do spend 20 minutes behind the gate in the living room with im and usually give a treat chicken and rice stick or his filled kong (soemthing that will take at least a few minutes so I can get out the door before he realizes I am leaving) but the last few days have been HORRIBLE!!!
He desn't want treats or toys or anything...he justs takes it in his mouth and puts it back on the floor and tries to jump back into my lap or climb on my legs (this is the only time he does this). This morning I waited outside the door to see if how long he cried and barked and it went on for 5 minutes...I was soo sad, I almost ran back in and grabnbed him and all his stuff to bring him to work but I was already late and I would've been late AGAIN....the thing is that he isn't left alone alot...only 2 days a week and then only for 8:30-12:30 (4 hours) and then 1:30-4 pm (2-1/2 hours)...he is with someone 24/7 for 5 days out of the week...I don't understand whats happening and all of a sudden.... I am soo sad for him
