Pet Owner Seperation Anxiety

Ok, so I feel like a heel today, and it is only because I started a new job. Aftern not working at a regular 9 to 5 job for the last year, going back to a schedule has become quite awkward to say the least.

But in all honesty, I feel worse because I am no longer home all day with my pets. Sure, my girlfriend gets home at noon to spend time with the puppies, and I now get home at 5, but it is not the same. It has only been one day, but I miss them while I am at work.

Derek Wood - Introduction of new contributor

Hello,

My name is Derek Wood. I will only take a moment of your time and will make my introduction short.

I am a new contributor here at PetLvr’s. I consider myself to be a true pet enthusiast and friend. I like all animals, and have not found one that I considered to be bad. I enjoy the company of any animal and like cats, dogs, hamsters, snakes, and pretty much anything else.

All the dogs I have owned personally have been large breed dogs including Alaskan Malamutes, German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies. I am a big guy at 6′4″ and like big dogs. That is just my personal preference. However I love all pets just the same. My family has owned other dogs and cats to include golden retrievers, Yorkies, mixed breeds, mutts, and some that were indeterminable.
