Dear Answer Dogs
 
Dear Answer Dogs,

My people told me we are moving. Moving? They seem to be moving around a lot! They go from room to room and they change the rooms! Things are disappearing! Have they moved? What about my toys! What about my food! What if I can’t find them? Am I going to disappear too? They don’t seem to care that the things are not in the room any more, and even more confusing, there are these big things that are appearing in the rooms as things are disappearing are these new pets? Don’t they love me anymore? What does this all mean?
 
Sincerely,
Confuzzeled
 
Dear Confuzzeled,

It is a scary time. Your people are going to take you from your house to another house. It could be another dogs house! The other dog might still be there, Their people might have forgotten to put them in one of those big things. The other dog might not have been as careful to keep his person in his sight! He might have looked away! It is very important that you find the other dog right away! The best way to do this is to pee in every room and bark as loudly as possible to scare the other dog away, but first, run all over the new house place and look for the other dog! You should also make sure the new house place smells like you as quickly as possible! You don’t want the other dog to be able to find the new house place anymore. It is your new house place and you should make it your own by marking it inside and out!.

The people are going to make everything disappear and make those big things grow all over the house. They may also take you on fewer walks and not feed you when they are supposed to feed you! The Answer Dog’s feel bad for you. You should make sure they remember that you need to go to this moving to place just like the big things, you might try to sleep in one of the big things just so that they don’t go to this moving place without you.
 
 If you are an especially small dog, you should worry even more as you might get thrown away on accident! The Answer Dogs have heard of very small dogs getting thrown away when their people are moving! You might should want to sleep on their pillows, right next to their heads on their beds so that they can see you right away and not forget you or if they don’t like you to use their pillows, crawl into their shoes! This is an excellent way to make sure you know where they are! If they step on you, you know they are right there! You might also want to pee on the big things, so that they smell like you so if you have to, you’ll be able to track them! It is important to make sure they do not forget to take you with them and that if they do forget to take you with them, you can find them!

The Answer Dogs suggest never letting them leave your sight! Follow them everywhere, make sure they don’t take all the big things and go to this moving and leave you. This can best be accomplished by healing very close all the time everywhere they go - even to the bathroom or just another part of the same room. Proximity is safety!
 
Good luck!
