Absence Makes The Mind Grow Fuzzier During one of the many phone calls I received from the parental units whilst they were on holidays Mum mentioned that Buddy may not remember cause it would have been so long. I scoffed heartily at this � there is no way he could forget his Mummy that he�d followed around like a little...well puppy, since we�d adopted him from the RSPCA. He wouldn�t forget her � not EVER! Apparently he didn�t get the memo. CCB and I took him to the airport to pick them up this morning and he cringed away from Mum. Cringed! He only cringes when he meets new people. It was an odd moment. I couldn�t believe it. How horrible must Mum be feeling at this point? It makes me think about how a dog�s memory works. Is it like dog years, how one human year equals seven dog years? If so that means the five weeks there were away would have been like [put mathematical equation here that explains how long in dog time it would have been. Don�t forget!] in dog time. I suppose he could have misplaced his memory of a certain person. By the time we arrived home and entered the house it was like a giant light bulb went off in his head � �It�s Mum!� he commenced daily routine of dancing and prancing around in circles. It must have been the strange surroundings at the airport that put his nose and memory off their recognition sensors. They will have bonding time while I�m at work today. That will fix it I�m sure.
