| My Meadow was a one-person dog, he always had to be near me, or he panicked. When he went to a veterinary surgical specialist for a major cancer operation, they wanted him to stay overnight -- they did have 24/7 coverage. Knowing him and how stressed he'd get at veterinary clinics, I insisted on staying overnight next to him and brought my sleeping bag along.
At around 10:00 at night, they relented and let me bring him home. He was much calmer and more comfortable sleeping on his own bed next to me in a quiet environment with the constant attention and comfort of his family. |
