Is it normal that I miss my dog so much while away at college?

  • I missed our dog so much it ruined my honeymoon for 2 weeks :o(

    It's the same as home-sickness. You know the humans can look after themselves and understand why you're not there but your wee dog can't :o(

    • I know! I'm sorry your honeymoon was ruined. :( Luckily, she's loves my dad just as much as me so I know she's well taken care of. But it doesn't make me miss her any less or feel super guilty when I leave monday mornings. She sees me packing and gets all sad, and then follows me to the door and I have to tell her to stay, and when she looks at me like she's gonna cry, my heart just about breaks. :) Oh I couldn't imagine a life without pets. That's probably what gets me most as I've grown up always having pets and my apartment by campus doesn't allow them. It's just not the same. But thank you. :D

      • You'll find that she will get into the routine, knowing that you will be home on a Friday. My dog sits in the middle of the hall with her head down if I even go out to the local shop and sulks all night with me. They sure are great actors!

        Keep some photos in your room of her and try not to picture her on the Monday morning but rather when she sees you on a Friday.

        Glad you know she's loved and cared for anyway :o)
