Therapy dog comfort
hello wonderful people! this is a bit of a far fetched question but you are all amazing so it's worth a shot. we are going away tomorrow and I feel like we are pretty prepped for it but we are unable to take our dashy girl away with us. the last time we left her my son didn't cope and said he would never leave her again. he squeezes her and plays with her ears and they are a huge comfort for him. we have made dash girl ears for him but they aren't the same and he has a dash cuddly but isn't interested. apart from photos does anyone have any ideas on how to fill the void for him? Thank you all!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Maybe get something small and say that Dash wanted him to have it? Like a present from Dash kind of thing?! Some to big he can have with him on the trip.
A social story about what he will do and what dash will do and how it is only for a few days and how good it will be to see dash again?? Then read regularly to get him used to the idea. That photo is just lovely xx
I don’t have any suggestions, other than what you have already done but I can’t not comment on how cute this bond is 🥰 that is so special!!! Have you maybe done a video recording of her? For him to watch? Or them together?
Great tips in here Ash!! What a fabulous community 😍
