What my dog does when I leave home

[Catherine]

Dog must seem so abandoned when we go out. What we need is a two way radio/ baby monitor or something so we can talk to our pets.

I once took over caring for my neighbours two cats during a family emergency. She didn't make it home for a month. She had no suitcase or anything to indicate a trip so her cats were pretty upset at first. I got her on the phone and had her talk to them and they calmed down.

I am sure that dog would do well with hearing the owners voice. Even a tape of him talking would help.
