When Higgins was little, we left him for SHORT visits, still not making any fuss going or coming home. I think he has learned that we DO come back, so he doesn't seem to get upset. So, I would try just popping Toto in her x-pen without much fanfare, then go on a short trip to the store, then pop in and take her out of her x-pen with no fanfare or extra hugs when you get home. Keep us posted. |
THANKS! We actually tried that this AM. Had appointments at eye docs very near our house so we left Toto home. Sorry .... she was so excited we couldn't resist the extra hugs when we returned and she was kissing us to death!!
She does a little thing to me that makes me "putty in her paws" .... nestles her head on my shoulder and just gets really still and makes a tiny little sound. I just melt ... I think she knows it too!!
