Don't feel bad!!! Your not alone. I'm a teachers aid and have been off for the summer to. And I dread leaving Kahlua alone while I work!!! She hates being left alone. She cried during the school session when I had to go to work. I thought about her all day. It's like leaving your child home alone. When I would get home at the end of the day she would go crazy with excitement! You couldn't even pick her up because she would be so jumpy. Well at looks like were both gonna be homesick for our dogs together. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in the same situation!
