Yesterday was the third day at USJ home. The boyfriend and I have to leave him at home as we cannot possible to bring him everywhere we go. As we locked the gate, we waited outside for 5 minutes. He barked, and then he howls and cries. He howls like he is being tortured and in pains. My heart was aching hearing his cries. I knew he was afraid of being alone at home, especially when the place is not familiar to him.
He must be wondering if I am coming back again later, or why am I dumping him at a stranger's place, without friend. Toby is still at the vet, and most probably he is feeling fear of lonely.
I am so sad. He is big, but he has a chicken heart. He hid inside my blanket during his sleep. Inside, he feels secure enough under my arms.

A dog is a territorial animal, so he must be suffering from lack of his familiar territory apart from separation anxiety. The poor guy.
