Hi im sure she'l be fine... you'l probably be the one who'l will miss him more ;-)....As long as theres someone there to give her love and attention she wont be sad. I really wouldnt worry about it! :P
ahh thanks :-P must transfer all love and affection from him to her. im sure she'll be fine.
My cocker has been through the same sort of thing and she was fine. Just put any valuable ornaments away when he gets back. Our dog went nuts.
hehehe :-D
nice to know they will remember them :)

Definitely. I'll be interested to see how our new dog reacts when my husband goes off to sunny climes again. Our other dog, Holly, lies in our dining room facing the back door from about 4pm every day waiting for him to come home. She still does it when he's away. Habit or hope? I can't tell really but it's sweet.
sweet / heart-breaking!..
the bond between a dog an its owner is so underetemated. :)

My dog was in my mom's office and I called her and I asked to 'speak to my dog'. Just for fun
I said , "Hey soro!" And talked to my mom a bit and wot.
When my mom picked me up that day she said Soro spent 30 minutes looking for me in the office, poor thing XD.

We did that with Holly and she did the same: searched the house. I felt very guilty.

Given the location he's going to, I am guessing that your husband is in the forces? If so, let him know that his and his colleagues efforts ARE appreciated in a big way. I'm sure your dogs will be a great comfort to you whilst he's away.
ahh thanks, yes he is in the royal engineers but signed off last week so in a year he's all mine! :grin: yay. cant wait till he gets to come home every night :-) ( im getting all slushy now :oops:)
yes lottie will be a great comfort to me.she is in the week aswell. if your not going home to your OH its nice to know your dog will still be looking forward to you getting home.she always gives me a big loving welcome :mrgreen:
