One of my dads has gone away to a conference, and I’m not getting as much attention as I usually do. My dad will be gone for four days, and I’m afraid my other dad will leave me alone. So I follow him wherever he goes. When he sits down, I have to be right next to him to ensure that I get a lot of attention. Last night, he stayed up late watching television. It was way past my bedtime, so I sat in front of him and stared, whining, until he went upstairs with me to bed.
I’m so used to having both of my dads at home with me that I get anxious when one of them leaves, even for a short time. I don’t completely relax until everyone is home together. A few months ago, both of my dads went on vacation for a whole week, and they left me with a friend of theirs. He was very nice, but I was extremely upset. I wouldn’t even eat except for a few snacks.
I still remember my dads leaving me, and I’m afraid they’ll do it again. I guess you humans call that separation anxiety. It’s not fun for us dogs. I know my dads worry about me when they go away, but I really miss them when they are gone, even for a few minutes.
