been there! stressful isn't it.. it used to just break my heart... but layla overcame it! how old is your little guy? Layla was a nut when i left her up until she was about 10 months... and something just happened it seemed.. but we used to wean her... i'm not sure if you are in the position to do the same.. but we'd leave the house for about 20 min. then come back... layla was not kept in an x-pen because she used to try and get out of it! she has run of the house and woudl just sit on the steps and wait... then i'd come back.. not making a big deal.. hand her a treat and move on . she used to follow me around but i never picked her up... we moved the time to 25 min then 30 min... someone said dogs can't judge time beyond 20 min.. but they havn't met layla! lol.. now when i am home she generally wants to be where i am.. but that is typicall of yorkies.. but i can go shower... outside and shovel the driveway.. pretty much anything and she knows that i am coming back.
