Don't feel bad!!! Your not alone. I'm a teachers aid and have been off for the summer to. And I dread leaving Kahlua alone while I work!!! She hates being left alone. She cried during the school session when I had to go to work. I thought about her all day. It's like leaving your child home alone. When I would get home at the end of the day she would go crazy with excitement! You couldn't even pick her up because she would be so jumpy. Well at looks like were both gonna be homesick for our dogs together. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one in the same situation!

i did take tucker to school a couple of times last year. the students absolutely loved him! we had a couple of half-days and i took him then. the school is also in the town where we go to the vet (20mins away) so i leave him with the family who had him first until i get out of school on the days he goes to the vet. the lady who keeps him usually brings him to the school a few minutes early when she has him.

ton ton, i'm glad to know that someone else will be going through the same thing... maybe we should form a support group!

and tucker loves country music, so i leave that on while i'm gone. ya'll are probably all right... he'll settle back into the routine. maybe i'm the one who'll have the problems!!!

My husband is a teacher too and now he is home with Nikko. But when he goes back in Sept. Nikko will be all alone again. I try to leave lots of things for him to occupy his time. He gets locked in the kitchen and I leave out food, water, lots of toys and his kong stuffed with goodies. I know he won't be a happy camper the first few days but I think they get used to it. It makes us feel bad to leave him alone, but if mommy and daddy don't work, how is Nikko going to continue being spoiled the way he is?

wow! i am so jealous!!! going back to school in SEPT!?! i teach at a private school and our students come on Aug 11th. the public schools here start July 31st!!! but then, their last day is May 18th and ours is the 25th, so i guess we all get our 180 days somehow.
i'll have to get tucker a kong. we haven't tried that yet. he's definitely spoiled, though. so mom has to work!

I'm a speech-language pathologist for a school district so I work the same schedule as the teachers. I won't be going back until the 3rd week in August. I also leave them all day because I don't live close enough to come home at lunch

but they seem to be okay--just REALLY excited to see me when I get home

. Last summer when I went back to work they seem to have adjusted. Even though they spent 8 weeks out and about all day, they seemed to remember the routine when I was working. It would be really nice if I could take them to work with me but I was only able to bring them in when the students were not there. Plus, I'd want to play with them all day so I'd never get any work done!

a playmate for Kahlua will solve that crying problem and then you won't have to worry about her being alone
