I had my dog for more than three years before I had ever spent one night away from her --- and then I went on a week's vacation without her. I missed her so much and could hardly wait to see her. When I got home, I raced into the house, and she was so excited to see me ---- for about 10 minutes, and then she was off doing her usual things as though I had never been gone.
Dog's live in the moment! .... You know how they're just as happy to see us when we go to the mailbox as they are when we've been gone all day.
Enjoy your vacation - or time away from home. I can promise you that this separation is going to be a hundred times harder for you than it will be for the pup.
Why can't she take his crate to her bedroom in the evening when she goes to bed. He might like the trip. My pup loves to sleep around. He'll sleep with anyone that stays overnight in any bedroom at my house. He just loves everyone! But I guarantee, he does want to be with someone.

PS: You don't need to leave any items with your scent on them.....Your pup will be able to smell you all over the house. He probably even knows the brand of perfume you wear! |
