My wife drove back to Iowa to see our family for a long weekend. I stayed here to watch our 12-year-old black lab. The dog was not happy to see my wife grab a suitcase and head out the door… she knew it would be a few days till she saw her again. This weekend as I’d go to the store, brewhouse or beach… my dog would whine and cry every time I came home. Every time. Even when I went to check the mail just now. Gone for only a minute, but whining and crying when I came back. Like she is afraid of being left behind forever.
Dogs don’t like to be alone. Although I many times enjoy the solitude, stopping by the beach today, I missed my wife. We always share the beach.
