Dog’s guilt

I am wondering if there should be some new ailment registered called ‘dog’s guilt’ because I believe I suffer from it.  Whenever I leave my dog in the morning, it isn’t too bad because we’ve both got used to the routine, however, tonight I am going out dancing for the first time in ages and tomorrow I am going to see a friend for a meal and I can already feel the effects of ‘dog’s guilt’ coming on.

Just thinking about going out, I can already picture the look on my dog’s face (yes, you dog owners, there is a special look she gets), the eyes will widen in disbelief and that is where it starts.

Upon return to the household, there will be sulking, treats will be required and I may not be forgiven for some time.  This, my non-dog owning friend, is ‘dog’s guilt’.  Buy a dog and be prepared, because it is contagious and dogs carry it with them.
