An Update on Howie

My guess is that Howie, if he became an only dog, would have terrible separation anxiety. The only thing he ever seems concerned about is being left behind. On Saturday, Larry and June needed a dog park trip. C wasn’t feeling very well, though, and I can’t quite manage all three dogs on my own, so I made sure to get Howie back in bed with C and took the other two to the park.

Then on Sunday, we didn’t have time for the dog park, so I decided to take Larry for a walk (he’s been a little crazy lately). C had to come and hold Howie back so that Larry and I could leave the house.

When Larry and I got back, I decided to take Howie and June for a short walk just to try and make them a little happier.

I had thought it worked, but apparently not.

Today, I thought we had some errands to run, and we planned on going to the dog park. I thought we were going to the park first and got out the leashes and harnesses. Then C came out and said he wanted to do the shopping first. I put the harnesses away and we headed out of the house.

Howie, however, was not about to be left behind. He darted out the front door and headed straight to the car we take the dogs in. We had to carry him back in the house.

Luckily, as long as he is left with the other dogs (or with someone home), he does just fine.
