I really like this suggestion. This sounds like something he would definitely do. I like the code word. I think that might work for us. We have 3 English bulldogs, one of them, Sarah, is really droopy and always looks sad and depressed, so we call her Eeyore (from Winnie the Pooh). Maybe that will be my word. I will tell him Eeyore is visiting or something.
I am not completely closed to the idea of therapy. I guess I am just feeling defeated and a little hopeless on that matter.
