You need to tell her what is going on. I personally believe that our furbabys know our heart and if you explain it to her she will get it.
I had an older lady tell me,when I got my yorkie,to never leave her and not explain it to her. So even if I am going to be absent for just a few hours or a day or two,I explain it to Mina. I even tell her who will be caring for her. I know it may sound silly but the one time I didnt tell her,she was so hurt.
I will keep you,your daughter and your princess in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that there will be peace in your home. |
So...it's not just me, then.
I tell my babies where I am going and when I'll be back....and that I love them. When I get back, I tell them I love them and missed them. Going to work it is "little while" and/or "back soon" but going to the kitchen for a drink, it is "1 second" or 1 minute" and laundry is "2 minutes" etc. I tell them I need them to be still "few minutes" so I can pay bills, etc. They may not understand the words, but they 'read' faces and emotions and understand 'telepathically'.
I treat all my animals with the same respect I would bestow on any other living being.
Your baby may be confused and not understand at the moment, but she loves you and all you need do is love her back and treat her like any other 'human'...same respect. She may be giving you the space she thinks you want, but you can 'invite' her back into it with you.
The difficulties you are facing will end. I am sorry you are having them, and hope all goes well for you. {{{hugs}}}
