As a breed we get very attached to our humans. To be fair we all found a human who gets very attached to her dogs. We\u2019re missing her and she\u2019s missing us. She will be home again tomorrow and you just know that we\u2019re going to jump all over her when we see her. One week away is barely long enough for the bruises we leave to subside and now we get to do it all again. Of the four of us, I have to confess that the girls are much more balanced doganalities than we are. Aristotle and I rather pine for our Mistress. Shadow is quite happy having our Master for company and isn\u2019t so bothered. She and our Mistress have a grudging respect for each other rather than a close bond. Wilma is simply a much more balanced dog who likes everyone and everything. Whilst of course she loves our Mistress more than anyone else in the whole world, she is rather more self assured and doesn\u2019t fret when they can\u2019t be together. Unlike me! My Mistress is my whole world. Without her I lose weight and worry. I fear she won\u2019t come back and get very clingy when she does. I know she\u2019s never let me down, but it\u2019s not my logical brain that kicks in when I don\u2019t know where she is. The good news is that she\u2019ll be back and I will know where she is and for a while I won\u2019t want to let her out of my sight \u2013 which apparently can get quite annoying, but she doesn\u2019t get too cross. She has learnt that the first thing I will need is half an hour to cuddle her and be cuddled and that will make me feel a whole lot better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
