Sukj -- I had a loveable dog that was four years old - and I had never spent a day without her and had never slept a night without her.
Then - I went on a week's vacation to Mexico and left her with a friend. I thought I was going to die and literally counted the minutes until I got back home.
I walked back into the house and she was totally ecstatic to see me - what a wonderful reunion! This lasted for about 10 minutes and then she was off doing her own thing and acting like I had never been gone at all. Things were quickly back to normal for her!
So - it is a fact that we suffer much more being away from our pups than they do. But - then - this is probably a good thing!
