I love that you’re sharing what’s going on with the move towards your dream, it has inspired me to take a step towards mine. And, yes, my dogs know something’s afoot when I start to clean (apparently deep cleaning is abnormal around here) Zack gets very clingy, and herds me away from the front door when I head that direction.

Jimmy gets clingy, Wilson’s like “Meh! See you later!” and goes upstairs by himself.

That poor woman! People can be utterly ridiculous in some online forums….would they prefer that she dump her dog? I think any dog can be perfectly happy living on a boat so long as they aren’t sick all the time and they are still being exercised.
Sheesh…
Congratulations you’re almost there!!

Congratulations on moving forward. But how can you part with the puppy light? It is so cute. Maybe your sister would keep it for you.

We haven’t moved – or gone on a dog-less vacation – in about 6 years, so no advice there. But even when we have to leave the dogs for more than a couple of hours, I give them extra play time before we leave. And I know the sitter will give them plenty of TLC while she’s here. And they all seem to know that we will be back as soon as we can.

We always get nervous when things are out of the ordinary. I’m sure she senses stress in her humans as well.

Haley gets a little clingy too when things are chaotic around the house. You’re right about spending a little extra time on the TLC, it can make all the difference in the world to them! I can’t wait to see your new “home” and good luck with the sale! 🙂

Haven’t moved with dogs (yet!) but Harley gets antsy whenever I start packing for a weekend getaway. I can only imagine how he’d be if we were moving completely. Honey is fortunate to have you in her life, because you stop to understand and satisfy her emotional needs. It’s gonna be fine. Exhale girlfriend 🙂

We moved a couple of times with Sally and Tino…he was oblivious, but Sally knew immediately and was much like Honey – got clingy and would also plant herself on the bed frequently. She knew we’d be taking that and so she stayed close to it. Good luck with your sale.

Our dogs know when something is up. They stay under foot and are constantly on patrol. I think they do adapt and mostly need love and a sense of security from their “pack”.
