The time when he walks out the door, or when I do, if I have to leave for work before he leaves, is the hardest for me. I often get weepy. The first evening used to be the extra difficult, but I started giving myself some sort of treat that evening. Nothing too extravagant, just something to look forward to. Trying to make the situation into something positive. Usually it works, but when it doesn't, my dog is treated to the sound of me sighing a lot.
