It really upsets his day when I leave him anywhere. Gradually, though, he comes up for a cuddle and licks me, deigning to forgive me.
When I was in the hospital and he stayed with my son and his dog, he came home fine, happy to see me at first blush, but that's the only time he didn't get disoriented by his pack being separated for even a little while. He doesn't seem to mind my leaving for a few hours while he stays home, though. He greets me acting like a crazy dog, whirling and running around me as I walk in, not satisfied until I get down to his level and he can greet me properly with kisses and sniffing and more kisses, pressing into me as I hug him.
Sure glad to hear Crystal is fine. Scary though, anytime something new comes up. |
Hi Jeanie, Crystal continues to be fine this morning, uber alert - woke me up on time and wouldn't accept "no" to me trying a little extra snooze! Ate a good breakfast, motions normal - phew, you may remember this time last year when you talked me through another little wobble, whilst Mom was away. Made a lot of fuss of me last night too, so perhaps she realizes Dad's only trying to help? Also seems to have become very sensitive and protective. 'Buffs' at every little sound and insists on checking our private lobby up here afterwards - is she looking out for her mom? Your thought provoking words 'little pack' really put things in perspective too this end and so far away, I'm glad we have and look out for each other. If only we were as loyal and loving?
Thank you,
Martin
