spoiled dog enters the "real world"

Mama's traveling so Tug went into doggie day care for the very first time ever this week. He had a nice, private room (about the size of my office cubicle, actually) and pleasant people to take care of him. However, being that he's never been away from home without us, Mama is his security blanket and he just doesn't adapt easily- he's had a hell week (all in one day).

Mama and I dropped him off and settled him in- sort of. He didn't really want us to go, of course. My sister picked him up and he wasn't doing well. By the time I got home from work he was somewhat normal. Then , the next day he didn't need to go as I wasn't working a whole day. But, I left for an appointment and a quick trip to the grocery store and then came back to let him out of his crate. We cuddled for an hour then I left for work for 2 hours. When I got back he was reasonably fine- the leaving and coming back was okay by him. So, then I take him to a patio at a restaurant to meet my co-workers but we all froze due to a fierce wind! He still found time to fall in love with one of my bosses.

Tomorrow, back to day care so I just don't know how the baby is going to do...
