Home Alone

Michelle says...

Tucker's gig at doggie daycare ended when he turned a year old. I'm feeling pretty anxious over the whole thing. He's still very high energy and inquisitive (as in always looking for the next mischief to get into). I don't want him to become one of those dogs that bark continually or chew the house up. I've felt so bad these last few days. It isn't as bad as it seems. My office is very close to our home and I've been going several times a day to check on Tucker and to take him on a walk at lunchtime. I'm just being an emotional "Mom". What scares me the most is that he'll go out his doggie door and get bored in the yard and dig under the fence and get run over by a car. My husband works from home a lot so there are days when Tucker isn't left home for much time at all. But he really enjoyed having that daily playtime with his little cousin doggies and he's pretty baffled by not getting to go anymore. He gets up in the morning and creeps into his carrier, curls up and waits for me to take him in the car. And I have to leave him behind instead.

I don't know why I don't get to go every day over to see Sadie and Mollie anymore. Maybe I was a bad boy. When Mom leaves me at home mostly I sit on the back of the couch and look out the window and wait for somebody to come back and play with me. Sometimes a squirrel runs through the front yard and I bark at him, but I think he knows I can't get him.
