I consider myself quite logical, where most of my decisions are based on the facts but when it comes to my dog I must admit illogical thinking rules the day. For there never is a day when I don’t feel a little bad about leaving my dog even though the dog has never held a grudge. Deep inside I fear the day when I come home and the dog will walk the other way out of disdain for my earlier decision. It is true that in the past my previous dogs have left me “unpleasant surprises” upon my return but they still have been as happy to see me as if I had never left. I fear that this illogical thinking will never go away and I’ll continue to pamper my pouch for ever more or at least until she/he finally holds a grudge.
