"Russ, My small humans have gone back to school and I am feeling a little down. They usual just irritate me but I kind of miss them."
Sounds like you have Separation Anxiety. Here is a quick test to see if you got it;
- Are you barking continuously during the day, perhaps after a build-up of whining?
- Do you get stressed when it looks like they are going to leave?
- Are you chewing everything you can get your paws on?
- When they return do you find yourself bouncing off the walls with joy?
Thing you can do;
- Demand more together time. Perhaps long walks or playtime.
- Ask for something to keep you busy when they're gone. Maybe a Kong filled with peanut butter.
- Request to be brought to a friends or daycare.
- Try not to focus on them leaving...
I hope this helped. I personally fixed my anxiety by blogging....
