I sort of feel silly posting this but looking for advice. When Covid-19 became a thing earlier in the year, my son came home from college to finish the semester online. That was his sophomore year so he had been away from home two years. He was home for 3 months the summer between freshmen and sophomore year. During this pandemic, he was home for over 5 months and our dog got really used to him being around. My son was even home every day with him during the summer as he did his internship from home. We moved him back to college last Saturday. He's in an apartment this year so he took most of his belongings with him such as his dresser and desk leaving his room here empty except for his bed.
The dog has obviously taken notice and is in a deep state of depression. He's laying next to his bed as I type this. What's worse, whenever my wife or I leave the house, he freaks out and wails for us to come back. I assume he'll get used to it in time but it's just heart breaking to watch right now.
