My fuzzy buddy has been reunited with her family. She was very happy to see her mom, but she did give me a nice good-bye kiss.
She had to sniff and inspect their rental car and everything that was unpacked from it.
I'm going to miss her. How am I going to know about UPS deliveries, sinister outdoor furniture, and menacing leaves now?

I told my aunt about your grand dog protecting you from harm and gave her your examples. 😂

I pick up my best fur buddy this afternoon so she can stay with me a few days. Baby sister is going to be born, that will be a very rude awakening when she returns home. DD sent a whole bag of toys, all the ones with holes in them, so I can repair them while she is staying with me.
While she is here I will be safely protected from all the backyard squirrels and birds. It will be interesting since this is longest she has stayed with me since she was a puppy. While I am on her list of favorite people she is very bonded with DD and SIL and tends to go into survival mode when they leave. She never eats during the day while they are gone but waits until they come home in the evening and then chows down.

Mine do that, but not because I'm not there. I could be jome all day with them and they still choose to wait until night time to eat. It's weird.

Same here. A full bowl of fresh kibble goes untouched all day until 7:00 p.m. (at which time he also gets a little boiled BSCB or browned ground sirloin).

My dog will only eat if I am in the room with her. Her food is in the master bathroom, so she usually eats while I shower in the evenings. Sometimes if she gets hungry before then she will get a mouth full of food, drop it on the floor near wherever I am, and eat it piece by piece.

When my sister would take her dog when they visited mom and dad when they lived out of town, dog wouldn't eat, poop or pee. Limited the amount of time they stayed.
I dropped off a donation of cat food at my local shelter today. I had to look at the cats but I knew I was not bringing one home. So many cute kittens looking so adorable. There was a 13 year old cat that was listed as a stray. I had seen her picture online. I was told they don't know how long she was a stray. She had been adopted from there and was microchipped. Also declawed and her teeth are great and they felt she had been getting regular cleanings.
If Lucy had not spent her lifetime as an only cat, I'd give it a try. I don't want to get Lucy having behavioral issues because I want to help a senior cat.

another weird eater here too. LD tends to snarf dinner either right when I get home, or immediately after we come back inside that one last time. they get fed around 830am (or whenever I get up) and around 630pm, but we leave the dishes out for them to eat at their leisure.
