My Rudy, what can I say. First I know he is spoiled rotten

After his traffic stopping run, I put a gate between my kitchen and den, so he wouldn't run out again. Now when I go to leave he jump at my and bites at me and my clothes, like saying don't go. He loves to go bye bye. He has such a funny personality.

I am hoping after he gets neutered he won't be such a toot. My Maddie is always so sweet, but Rudy, he can be sweet, but then you can look at him and see the mischief in his eyes. Right now he is so sweet, he is sleeping

..............Cindy

Funny you should metion it.....

Every time we go out the front door with Higgins, he growls and barks and NIPS OUR FEET! I was just thinking that he gets nervous when we go out that door because we don't always take him along. Usually when we leave through the back door, he is always going along for the ride.

I think that nipping at us IS their attempt to keep us from leaving them. Separation anxiety! I have read that we should NOT make a big thing about leaving and returning so that they come to accept it as a normal thing in their lives. And that is what we have always done. BUT, we hardly ever leave him. We are retired and he goes with us most of the time........hmmmmm......Going to start leaving him home for short periods a little more I think.

We've gotten Yoda "used to it" when we leave. We setup his nice little area in the kitchen, with a soft blanket or his bassinet, with one or two articles of our clothing, classical music on in the background, and water and food for him. He'll just snuggle in there and he gets a kiss goodbye.

It took a while though, he used to chew our wallpaper when we left him alone! Though he doesn't like it, he does accept the fact that sometimes we have to go out and can't take him. When we come back, we get the warmest greeting! He is just so happy and his tail wags at 100 wags a second. :P

What's so funny is that he just started it when I put the gate up. Just got back from eating with my sister, she was outside before we left and asked me what took so long

I said RUDY he has turned into a toot when I leave. Maddie and Lucky are fine when I leave. Higgins sounds alot like Rudy. Sometimes I think him being the third furbaby has something to do with the way he acts, but then I think it is just his funny personality. When I come home I don't care if I have been gone of a second, they just give me the best greeting when I come home. Just love my furbabies........Cindy
