So...Buddy is a 5 year old dog. He's getting gray around the chin but he is very much my big baby. Having him back in the USA has been an adjustment. No more sleeping in, I have to get up and let him out in the morning..And once I'm up its pretty hard for me to go back to sleep, so I normally end up making coffee and toss the tennis ball for him a bit. Luckily, I was able to stay home with him the first couple days as he adjusts to livin here. He knows his boundaries and that he has to sit when the front door opens or if he wants to go out. Today was the real test though, I had to leave him to go to church. The big baby saw me get my shoes and thought it meant we were going for a walk. He sat really nicely by the front door and wagged his tail. It broke my heart to see him sitting at the window watching us leave the house, get in the car and drive away. Talk about me being a mama, I definetly had seperation anxiety.Worried that he was gonna think I was abandoning him in this crazy new place.When I got home, he was sitting at the window and he was fine. Very excited to see me, but he was fine..So life continues, just with a bit more tug-a-war,fetch, and a little less sleep..But its all good:)
aww glad he's adjusting :) i miss going to church with you, but i'm guessing you'll go with amanda well cuz i hear great things about that church :P c'est la vie, that's what i get for ditching you for the summer lol :) i hope buddy's sleeping enough to let you get some sleep at night!
