Dear readers, I know this is ridiculous but as I\u2019m getting older I\u2019m getting more insecure. Our Mistress was out on Saturday morning and by the time she came home I\u2019d got it into my head that she\u2019d left me and I was in quite a state. I\u2019m really not coping with Shadow\u2019s hormones and Aristotle being so bouncy, but my problem is much deeper than that. I\u2019m feeling insecure and not really sure what to do about it. The worst part is I know that our Mistress has to go away with Shadow again soon and that I\u2019ve got to cope without her, but I just know I won\u2019t cope at all. I\u2019ve never been a brave dog, but I\u2019m getting much worse. I can\u2019t even explain myself why I\u2019m having such a problem. Basically I\u2019m suffering from stress and I need advice. I think if I were a human the doctor would sign me off work for a week or two, but that\u2019s not going to make any difference. I think being with our Mistress full time for a couple of weeks might help, but I\u2019d still have to go back to normal afterwards. Spending time with Bella helps. She gives me the courage to face up to things and doesn\u2019t intimidate me at all, but she lives too far away to spend a lot of time with and I miss her. Our Mistress has promised to spend more time out walking with me and doing things together this week to see if it helps, but with it being summer I can\u2019t just go out and about in the car with her and wait for her to come back as I can in the winter. I know I\u2019m not making it easy for everyone, but I just don\u2019t know what to do. I want to be a good dog, but I just get so worried.<\/p>\n
