What I've done (all by accident) is go in and out several times. I am always forgetting something. lol They seem to go thru the excited greeting phase, then I leave again without fussing and then come back in and so on. They have gotten to the point that they never know when I come or go. Sometimes when I come back in they've gone off and found a spot to play or lay down already. Maybe this might alleviate some the "leaving me alone" crying. Good luck.
