Its like he knows. We found Abby Friday in a full seizure on the couch when we came home. I think she had been there awhile and Alphy witnessed it. We rushed her to the vet and someone stayed with Alphy and took care of him. Abby didn't get to come back. (short story is it was cancer). I'm worried for Alphy because I don't think he's ever been an only dog. I got him from lksdolls so he's had a ton of furbabies to play with and then Abby. Getting another dog is just not an option now.
I hope he'll be okay. I'm going to take him to work with me for at least the first week. I did leave him at home for a few hours and he was pretty wound up, he's never been left alone like that. Bit of anxiety going on. I had left the TV on too, but I think he was a bit scared or something.
Thanks for all your guys comments, it's been really hard for me. |
I am very sorry about Abby. The cat I spoke of losing recently....was put to sleep. It breaks your heart. We brought him home afterward, but I understand not being able to do that.
I think you're right about Alphy...he's never been alone. Poor baby. Would it be possible to go to work all the time...instead of just this week? I only ask because it seems like putting off the inevitable if not....there's next week. Or perhaps taking him to work in the am but taking him home at lunch...at least so it's not a full 8 or more hours alone... more gradual approach if possible. I do think Alphy will adjust..it'll just take some time.
