I know pet owners suffer seperation anxiety, I rationalize that the older the pet the more they have fallen into the pattern and realize we will be back, but I swear the highly trained attack killer cocker spaniels at our house can tell the difference between our smaller weekend luggage and our larger longer trip luggage, a lot of of morose sideways whatever glances going on from the canine population with a couple "why would you pack dog biscuits if I'm not going" looks
Thank god for house/dog sitters, it makes it a touch easier
