Yoni is 20 weeks old and has been with us since he was 9 weeks. I am his primary caregiver. He has bonded, it seems, with the entire family... but me and him share a special bond. I am the one who feeds him, takes him for walks, makes sure he gets out to pee, trains him, etc. My family does help out sometimes, of course.... but not nearly enough (that is a whole other problem). I don't mind doing all of this stuff for him, though, because I love him! Now here's the problem......
I'm going away on Wednesday for 5 days and leaving Yoni home with my dad and sister. I am worried enough as it is because they don't know how to take care of him (I've been giving them lessons for the past few days, though LOL)..... but I can't stop thinking about how he will react to me leaving. He is so used to seeing me every day, and so used to me being the one to do everything for him! I'm scared that he will be really sad and depressed or be mad at me when I get home! Maybe I'm just a concerned mother (never thought I'd say that about a dog LOL).... but I need some reassurance! Should I call every night and let him hear my voice? Am I being crazy? Let me know if I am.
