We have tried so many things over the last few days. We've done all the expected things. All the normal things. All the things I've been intuitively lead to doing.
I ever did surrogate tapping, where I went into his field, AS him to under what he was feeling. I heard, "scared and alone"; that's why I said to Brad that I was thinking about sleeping on the laundry floor with him. Which is what Brad ended up doing the next night but with nowhere near enough bedding!
I really think that it would be much kinder to have the dog sleep with the humans, since he doesn't have a buddy. But they were very clear that they didn't want him in the half of the house where the bedrooms are.
I will certainly be making different house-sitting choices in future as this one has been harder than many. But, he is adorable. I will miss him despite the whinging, winging, barking and sleep deprivation.
I leave tomorrow morning to start at the next place and Brad will stay one more night and then join me.
Sun in my eyes, bare feet on the ground and exercise always help me feel better. They were my priority these last few mornings. Those and coffee ☕ !LOL
That's how I am feeling waking up this morning! Add some ocean to that and I'll be okay.
That's so sad about the dog. You are so intuitive and attentive that it must have been really hard to see him suffer like that. Did you message the owners for a solution? Hope the next sit is better - any animals?
