Elite is sad....

bigdoglover · 01-12-2006, 10:23 AM

As you all know, Elite is temporarily living with a trainer in NC....I call and bug him every evening to check up on her. I dropped her off on Saturday, and on Sunday he said she seemed sad and a bit depressed, but he was keeping her busy and it seemed to help.

Training is going really well, and when I called last night he told me that she is doing ok, except when he lets her out to go potty, she will go to the middle of the yard and howl really mornfully. She will close her eyes and whine, and he said it looks like she wants to cry.

When he lets her back in, she tries to climb in his lap!

I feel so bad for her, and I am sad too. On the flip-side, I know this is good for her, and that she enjoys doing the work. It's the "down time" that is really working on her emotions. So, whoever thinks that dogs don't have feelings needs to see my poor Elite when she cries!!
