Actually, I think this is why they tell us never to smoke weed in front of the kids. LMAO It's not really that funny if the dog is yours, Carl and I have a Jack Russell and a Rottie who BOTH do this same behavior. It is an expression of separation anxiety. It has become so bad, that Carl finally hireda dog sitter so WE wouldn't feel quite so guilty for leaving on vacation. (Everything is fine until either one spots the suitcase.)
