Gosh soli, i soo feel like that dog sometimes... wanting to bite the feet so they won't leave me. I never even let on tho that something is wrong. I just bottle in up, stuff in back down, nod like things are fine.... and cry all the way home (in the case of T apnts.)
I've decided I do not want a stand in for T while she is gone for 2 weeks. No other will do. That'll be a fun conversation next time... when ever next time is....
