moving out

[kaylove]

So my boyfriend and i are in the process of breaking up right now.. its a pretty painful break up for me and of course im gonna keep benny cuz im the one who mainly cares for him but heres my issue. Last night was our first night back at my parents and benny whined all night. It was like he was saying "wheres daddy? why arent we at home in our bed?" it was horrible. neither of us slept and i think he really misses his daddy.. idk what to do

It will get easier on both of you. It just takes time...

Hopefully you guys are on good terms and maybe his daddy can come to a playdate with you guys once a week and he won't miss him so much...then give him something to sleep with that has his daddys scent...like a shirt or something...he will eventually adjust to the change but these things might ease the transition

So sorry,

He may sense your sadness a little in addition to things being different... it will get better soon.

My Sammy is pretty much happy anywhere, in any situation Loki, however, does not like change in any way. He loves visiting my parents but after he's hugged everyone, he whines to leave and go back home to take a nap. He doesn't like anything that upsets his routine. But even being so nervous, he does adjust to new routines fairly quickly. When we take them to visit my brother he settles in fine after a day or so, especially if we bring all of his "stuff" like his crate, blankets (I make sure NOT to wash them), etc. Once he realizes we are staying a while, he settles in. My brother does little things for them, like buys them new toys, and the guest bed there is really low so they can jump on it without help, so they have a lot of fun with that. My mom lets them jump on all the beds in her house too...they like beds... Can you get him a new toy or something to distract him? And just spend extra time with him. If he likes your parents, have them spend extra time with him too. He just needs to pick up from you that you are staying there now and that everything is OK. I notice a distinct difference in the attitude of my two when they know we are on vacation (with all of their stuff) and staying a while, and when we are just visiting for an hour or two. They do know the difference and they actually seem to prefer when we are staying, otherwise they act like "will you hurry up so we can just go home?" So just pretend you are on vacation

I'm sure that is what will happen, especially once you get settled into a new routine. Oh and just make sure he is tired. If my two are tired enough they will fall asleep anywhere

My thoughts and prayers are with you. It is too bad we aren't closer. I would have you and your baby over for some tea and cheer up.

These are my thoughts on moving on:
Time doesn't on its own, does not heal. The only cure for grief is grieving. So take time to realize how you are feeling. Unlike most people who experience the end of a relationship, YOU have a little man who loves your more than he loves himself.

I'm so sorry your going through this. Life.... I promise with time it will get easier. Benny probably senses your sadness. Lots of hugs.

Oh, Sweetie! I'm sorry. Break ups are hard, a an puppy that doesn't understand to the mix and it's extremely difficult. I'm so sorry! I agree with everyone on here that time will make it better and that he's reading your pain as well.

A suggestion for you is to take him out for walkies. It will help strenghten your bond with him and help tire him out so he'll sleep better at night time.

We send you both (((((((HUGS))))))))))

Yeah, break ups aren't fun
But your pup might be reacting to two things
The change of venue ... he isn't in his usual home
and he might be reacting to you
dogs Very easily pick up on their owners sadness
What I would suggest for BOTH pf you
is get out and do things
Take him out for some long walks
Take the pup out to a park and let him run around
It will be good for you're well being as well as your pups
