I think last time you went to Seattle Dizzy slept the whole time
when you returned you said it was obvious you awoke him from a deep sleep
but when he collected himself, he remembered to carry on bout bein' left alone

I often wonder, how animals perceive time...do they perceive it the same way as we do? Does Dizzy notice the difference between 3 hours and 3 days, or does it all seem about the same to him? Its hard to know how an animal relates to time..

Because, even if we are just gone for a few hours, Dizzy does carry on, about being left alone...

Tho when we are gone for days, he seems to carry on all the more....

Helga used to get mad at BigDom when he went to Chicago for a few weeks, or was gone with the Army Reserves for a few weeks, for summer camp....

She would holler and scream when he first came home, because she was so glad to see him...but once she got past that, she kind of ignored BigDom for a day or so...

He would feel so bad, but after a day or so, she would ease up, and be his best girl again...animals do know, how to make us humans feel guilty about ignoring or abandoning them...
