Mazlin Apr 2018 12:03pm, 5 Apr 2018 4,823 posts	0 Mazlin Making one of my random observations again - Rory’s been away twice this year, once without me and once with me. When I left him he was FURIOUS when I got back, and while we were away together he was a right pain. Once he got over himself though, both times he seems calmer and more relaxed now we’re home. D’you think he’s realising ‘oh, OK, I always come back here with Mazlin. This must be where I’m staying’? (Or maybe he’s still tired from being an idiot last weekend...)
Dave A Apr 2018 12:08pm, 5 Apr 2018 21,964 posts	0 Dave A Cookie and Phoebe seem happy to be away, both with us and in boarding. They are always happy to get home. They realise after a while you aren’t leaving them anywhere for long. We’re lucky in that we have found 2 really good places for them to go whilst we’re away.

BaronessBL Apr 2018 2:55pm, 5 Apr 2018 7,187 posts	0 BaronessBL Wanda is a pain at night when we are away. Even if we were to stay somewhere which had no rules about dogs in the bedrooms or on the beds we prefer her to sleep downstairs as at home. However if she is sleeping at the bottom of the stairs when away she comes up at approximately 2 hour intervals to check on each of us, but then usually returning to her bed again. To be fair if we didn't shut her in the kitchen at night she would probably do this at home too.....

Dave A Apr 2018 3:07pm, 5 Apr 2018 21,965 posts	0 Dave A When we’re away the dogs beds either go in our bedroom or directly outside, rather than shut away downstairs in a strange place. Usually from 03:00 onwards we have attempts to get on our bed (Cookie).
