Seperation Anxiety - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I feel like crying! My friend is puppy sitting for me. She came to pickup my furbabies and I feel like crying. I have to take my son out of town for possible surgery on trachea. My friend offered to keep my furbabies. She picked them up the night before I left. I will only be gone for 2 days if that but I am having seperation anxiety.

AND I FEEL LIKE CRYING.
CAN'T SLEEP,
KEEP THINKING I HEAR THEM.

Aww...it's ok to feel that way. You will be back with them before you know it. I hope all goes well with your son. Prayers for you, your son, and your fur babies.

You have my sympathy because I suffer separation anxiety too.

Sending positive thoughts for your son and hoping you will be home with your babies sooner than expected.

I have a very hard time being separated from Callie so I understand how your feeling. Im praying for you, you babies, and your sons surgery. Hope all goes well.

Bless your heart. We do understand. I suffered much more than my furbabies, when I had to make an EMG. trip to be with my mom. I couldn't sleep either. I know some people think I am 'that crazy dog lady', because I even called home to talk to my Yorkies. Only Gracie really suffered. Hubby said she sat in my place, slept on my side of the bed and carried her pink baby everywhere. He said it was like she was grieving. She was my rescue and she sleeps with me. My other three are secure and happy all the time. No you are not silly. Sending understanding, hugs, and prayers for your son.

I feel your pain and am sorry for your separation anxiety. I go on a lot of business travel and am always thinking about my woman & yorkies when not busy working. But its a part of the job and a part of life. So you have to be strong and know that you will be back together soon. It could be a lot worse... What always bothers me more than anything is the way they wait at the door (so I am told) for me for the first couple of days to come home before they start to act normally, but I do get a special spazzy greeting when I finally do come home.

One thing I have learned is dont talk to them over the phone, it only makes it worse because they think you are around.

Update on son. Everything looks great. He does not need another surgery.

I AM ON MY WAY HOME.

YEAH!

Just knowing someone else understands makes me feel better about my seperation anxiety.
Thanks everyone for your support.
