Mine always get a "guard the house and kill the burglers" on the way out. I'm not sure if it helps or not, but it doesn't seem to hurt. A routine is usually a good thing.
LOL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Megan, too funny! I'm so glad to be the faciliator for such giggles!
I was thinking more along the lines of PPLLLEASE don't whiz on the carpet or chew the chairs, since they're just pups. (just kidding they are good).
So what I'm hearing is that it doesn't really matter if I say goodbye. I can just leave in the morning and being dogs, they don't much need any formality for departures/separation. Is this the concensus?
How about greeting when I come home? I heard its best not to run over to them and greet them. I try to remain calm and ask them to sit (since one of them gets too excited and sometimes make little mistakes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) - any suggestions?
I totally ignore them for the first few minutes. I think if you get all excited when you first walk in it'll make them anticipate you coming home and might make separation anxiety worse.
Mine gets a loving noogie to the head and a "be good" when I put him out in the morning.
When i get home, I mess around in the house, change clothes, etc. before I go let him in - also because I was told that greeting them first (especially if another person is home) can lead to problems of remembering who's most important...

John,
If you can work out a schedule with the burglar, I can lend you Fetz for that day.
That's what friends are for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
