I didn't make a big deal when I walked out, just said good by and told her I would be back. I was just down the street and have 2 cell phones so used them like a baby monitor so I could monitor her. She barked a couple times but not bad at all. When I walked back in the door I again didn't make a big deal out of it, but she climbed on my lap and cried very pathetic for about 10 minutes. Any further advice on how she will be okay? | 
 
  Poor baby...You can do practice runs. Pretend you are going out, Pick up keys walk outside for a few mins. then come back.  I read this on here about a few days ago.
