I miss my sweetie. There's definitely a certain spark that's missing when he's away. Even when I think we're going through the motions of our normal weekly routine (wake up, go to work, eat dinner, surf the web, lather, rinse & repeat...), the regular life stuff is just better with him around. I feel like marching around the perimeter of our living room chanting, "Boriiing... boriinng... bor-ing....," but I know Koda would be nipping at my heels because he was born with that instinct, and nobody would really be around to appreciate my boring dance the way Brandon always does.
Koda keeps staring at our front door, listening for any hint of recognizable sound that his best friend is home. He normally sleeps up in our bed, but last night, he slept in the doorway between our bedroom and living room. I'm not sure if he's taking on the role of my protector, planting himself between me and all the doors in our apartment, or if he's making sure our front door is in view so he can spot Brandon the second he gets home. I wish I knew doggie sign language for, "Your buddy will be home in a couple of days."

I think he is just trying to figure out the last couple of weeks. You leave some other friend comes and stays with him and then you are home and things are normal now his buddy is gone again...ummm what the heck is going on in this apartment.
Precious post...if you are too bored you know where I live! I will be around this evening. At 2990 Hooker Street there is ALWAYS pure entertainment!!
I know- even though he loves me and Becki, I'm sure the change in schedule is just messing with him. They say that dogs are very much routine-oriented, so anything out of the norm throws them off.
Branny is back tomorrow night.
B- I ended up going for a long (for me) run tonight, then baking cupcakes to waste away my time this evening. Who says runners can't eat cupcakes?
This is sweet. I can totally understand. I've been in charge of the 60 some animals (about 55 birds I think) that Jay has while he's been working in Aberdeen and they can certainly sense his absence. I'm not the best with the birds which they can easily sense too. I can no longer handle them, but I do have to go in there at night to check on them and turn the light off and when I do they squawk at me like, "GET OUT!!!".
Where's Brandon?
Woah, Kelli- I have a new perspective! What are the 3 non-bird and non-dog animals?
Bran was in Orem, Utah this week doing training for work. He should be getting home any moment now. He said it was really pretty there being surrounded by the foothills.
