I had total knee replacement surgery and was in the hospital for 4 days. My older yorkie Rickles has real separation anxiety and the vet advised against having him boarded so I got a friend that my yorkies dearly love to stay with them. The first 2 days Rickles wouldn't eat at all and lay in front of the bay window watching for me. She finally got him to eat but he was sick when I came home and the vet said he had made himself sick grieving for me. At that moment I vowed that unless I had to have surgery or something serious like that I would never leave him again. If I can't take him I don't go. My other yorkie is still a puppy at 8 months and he was happy as a lark with my friend staying there. I failed to mention that Rickles is like he is about me because I am his sixth owner and I have had him 4 years. |
