Cathy: You're going away with me, Electra, so for once I can pack without being tortured by your depressed looks! No droopy eyes... no sad mouth... no slumping and sighing... Oh, for crying out loud, mom! I'll only be gone for a week! Mom: Why does the "suitcase face" work so well for dogs and so poorly for mothers?

Because you’re human, Mom, and should understand, while a dog doesn’t really understand why their humans leave them for so long.Hello, Cathy clan!

Oh, for the love of all that’s holy, Mom!!! Please loosen the apron strings just a little bit and allow your “little girl” to go on a guilt-free vacation for a whole week without you so that she can get away from it all and spend some quality time with her poor, often neglected dog. Sheesh!!!!!
Hi, rgcviper!
serenasakitty: LOL! I’ve got the same problem with my dog, too!!!!! ;-)
Hello and Happy Wednesday, fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope everyone had a really nice day today!

I don’t think dogs can tell how much time has passed – 5 seconds, 5 days, all the same to them. At least they certainly behave that way when they see you again.

That look only works if you have a wet nose&waggly tail!

My cats do the total guilt trip on me before I leave, and then seem to go into hibernation while I’m gone — no toys are touched, no fur anywhere, but they do eat like little piggies.

“For crying out loud”, indeed.
For what it’s worth, I’ve always liked that phrase.
HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.
