I have been in the hospital for three days now because of serious asthma attack and will probably be here 22 more days at least. My boyfriend has been going home to do all the puppy stuff every so often and now is mother is staying with clutch at our house to keep him calm.

I guess he has been acting stressed or like he thinks he is may be in trouble ( like that ever happens). I don't know if he wonders what has happens to me or not. I have always been home with him all day every day and think he may curious as to what's going on not seeing me in 3+ days.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to left him know everything is alright I would love to hear them.

2 days not 22* that's what happens when you post with a phone!
Sorry to here about that. The phone thing happens to me all the time!
I don't know how to make him feel better, but I wouldn't reccomend calling him because it might stress him out more to be able to hear you and not see you. At least I would think so.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you! I asked my boyfriend to give him the socks I had on so that he can smell me. I hope that it helps him. I keep hearing that he appears sad. He doesn't like phone calls anyway so we will skip that :)

You might want to check with the hospital, some let doggies come for visits...good luck, hope you are home real soon!

Just make sure he has some thing of yours to sleep with- he will smell you on the people that visit you as well- Try not to worry to much:)))

I second the idea of checking with the hospital to see if he can visit.  That's the best way, I think, and it will help BOTH of you feel better! :D  I hope your stay is as brief and fulfilling as possible.  Get well soon~

Does your corgi have a ipaw? Hope your doing better.

Scent items help alot. Any extra loving he can get will help. Over the last 2 years i have been hosptalized 9 times. Each time i'm back home the girls never ler me out of their sight. We went away for a week over christmas and they take turns laying in my lap so i dont get away.

Ask the hospital to let him come visit you.  We do that all the time with people who are admitted for a long period.  Most places will let you now because it helps speed healing.  My dogs come sometimes to drop me off when I work and my husband takes me, and I swear they know where I go because they get soooo excited when he gets close to the hospital.  I think it'd be good for both of you!

Thank you everyone so far for your responses! As much as I would like for Clutch to be able to come see me I think it would scare him more than anything. He is a little awkward around sounds and objects that are new to him. This is something we have been working on for months and he is getting much better but I don't think he would be ready for a trip to a hospital quite yet.

I did just send a shirt home with my boyfriend so that Clutch can smell my stinky self on it and hopefully know that I have not abandoned him. I think that having my boyfriend's mother staying at the house with Clutch has calmed him down some. Before she went to stay with him he knocked the tv (a medium sized flat screen) off on his crate somehow so I can only assume that he had to be quite distraught to that. Also, not being used to being left in a crate for more than the time it takes me to go grocery shopping had to be a bit confusing for him.

It makes me feel good to know that he is getting some good loving out of all of this (thanks Grandma!). When I get home I plan to smother him will all the love that squeeze out of myself! 

before I retired, I traveled every week and  got into the habit of talking to the corgis over the phone...they'd be very puzzled at my voice coming out of the phone but after a few  times,  they adjusted to it.  They'd rush to the phone and bark back at me.  Made good night from a hotel room lots nicer!

 

Good luck in the hospital.

The idea of the clothes is great. I have talked with mine on the phone and they just look at it. I have also left messages if it's been a long day so they can hear me. Whatever works for you may be the best and I'm glad "grandma" is there:) Feel better soon!
