Thanks again

The cup game is fun. The massage works - it puts him right to sleep....until I walk towards the door. Then he begins the barking again. whenever I leave, I say "mommy loves you" in a happy voice. Should I stop that? It's whether I leave for 30 seconds or 8 hours...so I don't think they're tying it to me being gone all day. I just don't know. It makes me almost cry whenever I hear it. It's frustrating, it's sad, and I just hate it..you know? I wish I didn't have to leave him, but that wouldn't be fixing anything.
