>She said that after the first 20 minutes, Rocky
stopped screaming for Encore and settled down. He was fine the rest of
that day and all the next day --- UNTIL about 30 minutes before Encore and I
returned. She said she observed Rocky cantering around the pasture,
whinnying. She said it was as if Rocky just knew we were on our way
home!
I don't know how they do it, either,
but my dog does this at the boarding kennel. He accepts the routine
there just fine, and settles right in -- but about half an hour before
I show up, he starts whining and pacing and watching the driveway. It
doesn't matter if I'm gone for a day or a week. He's very
closely bonded to "mommy" but is a good boy at the kennel--but
when "mommy" is on the way, HE KNOWS! The woman who runs the kennel
didn't think a whole lot of it the first few times, but she said that
every time he does this, I show up within half an hour. So she started
paying attention and noting it down--and it's happened EVERY time, for
several visits.
