Sigh...Ok, I admit it... I cry when I have to leave my babies somewhere. :( Last week I let Sophie spend the night with her buddy Summer (my friends little Yorkie), and I gave her a kiss goodbye, walked out the door, got into my car, and started bawling. Every morning we have our routine where I get up and take them all to potty, then feed them, change their crate beds and toys, take everybody's collars off, check and recheck the crates 80 times to make sure there's no dangers...and then put them each in their individual crates with their favorite stuff. As soon as I shut the door and they look at me with those sad eyes, I lose it. I feel like I"m being such an idiot...:rolleyes: Please make me feel better and tell me you guys do this kind of stuff too... |
I try really hard not to look back at them. I will even go back in, check the thermostat, adjust the radio volume, just double checking on them. |
awwww I know how you feel. I just hate leaving my babies. Rocky will see me getting ready to leave and go lay down in front of the front door, I know he is just praying he get's to go bye bye with me. It's so sad. |
Yeah, I'm like that too, especially when going on vacation. That's the hardest for me. I love traveling and vacationing, but I think about my babies non-stop when I'm gone....and then I can't wait to get home. Isn't that pityful? :p So you're normal :D |
Yes, I do the same thing. I feel so compulsive that I shut the door and lock it and then I re-open it just to look in and make sure they are doing ok. My little Lillie sits on the back of the couch and looks out the window at me when I drive away. It is terrible and I feel so bad about it. Although they know what time I get home... they are waiting at the door for me looking out for me to pull in the driveway. |
I also know how you feel. When I leave her at the groomers I esp have to fight the feeling not to go and snatch her back. Leaving for work is a little better as I put her in her room and spend a little time to myself before I go out the door. It calms me down. |
I do the same thing especially when we go on vacation |
I always cry when I leave Tilly. When she got spayed and spent the day at the vets I cried, I think too I was nervous. ;) |
My Mom was visiting and said that they lay by the door the whole time I'm gone, waiting for me to come back! |
YOU ARE NOT AN IDIOT!!!! (and do NOT say that again) You are a great Mom and that is what a great Mom does. :D |
I'm the same way....I started a new job last year that made me leave at 7 and not get home until 5 and it drove me nuts to leave the girls home...even though they have the run of the house...this last december I quit that job...i told everyone it was because my contract changed and at the time I believed that too but now I really think I quit my job because I hated leaving the girls...now I am home all day with them and I am very Happy with that.. not to sure the hubby is though:rolleyes: |
I am the same way, I will not put Lily in her crate if we go somewhere my husband has to put her in her crate because it breaks my heart to see her in that thing. |
Know what you mean.... what makes it worse is that Zoe usually likes her crate to a point but when we put her in and she hears the door she starts screaming. Talk about feeling like a bad mom. :( |

.......of course we ALL do that same kind of stuff and feel the same way about our babies! And proud to admit it....I might add.:p |
Ok well I feel better now...:D Guess I'm not the only one who is CRAZY for my babies!!! ;) |
If I'm leaving for the day to go to school, I dont' really think about it because my mom is home with Tucker. and he enjoys time alone (he really does, he can't stand it when we're home all the time. In the summer he goes nuts lol). But if I ever have to leave Tucker somewhere to go on vacation or whatever...yeah, I'm a mess. Rusty and Maddie would get babysitters once a year so we could go down the shore for our family vacation. Tucker can come because he's a service dog. I remember the first or second time we took Rusty to the kennel so we could go on our vacation....as soon as we pulled up to the kennel I lost it. I think I was 8 or so. The woman took me in the back and showed me the kennels and everything because she felt so bad for me. When we left Maddie at Sherry Lynn's house last year,I cried after I got home. The only thing that stinks -- in a way -- about having dogs is having to say goodbye to them (whether its for a couple hours, a coule days, or forever), it just stinks. |
You are not alone...Thomas tries to distract me quickly when we have to leave Lucy or I'll start crying. |
