I just adopted a dog that was breeding stock in a puppy mill. She bonded to me right away but has major separation anxiety. Even if I’m gone for 5 minutes, she goes nuts when I get back and acts like I’ve been gone for months.
I was freaking about to cry at first haha. Well done. 💗
That made me think of That Garfield comic
When my wife comes home from work, I tell her that the dogs are glad she is back from being gone forever again because she’s gone forever and is never coming back every day.
Aww I think that’s what you get when your object permanence is kind of tenuous.
Nothing quite as heartwarming as a dog who’s SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AAAA after you’ve been gone for 30min – “aww I missed you too you goober”
