Oh, something good--last week, I stroked him on the arm for a couple of minutes while we talked, and he just smiled at me and didn't run off or anything. It's a tiny step, but it made me very happy.
Positive step, Nicola. He is definitely missing you.
I'm glad you didn't check his calls afterall what is the point. I think he's just being neglectful and irresponsible. The less you actually know about what he's doing, the more you can focus on being who you are.
As for the puppie's visit to the cardiologist, why should you feel guilty about that. You are only being a responsible dog owner.
I'm glad you went out and had a good time. Sounds like a lot of fun.
