So my little dogs and kitties are depressed lately. My dad is in the hospital and doesn't look like he is coming home soon, and they are very attached to him. One of dogs is hand fed by him, and she's terribly sad and not eating that much. My other dog and two cats are also very sad but still are eating. Any ideas on how to keep them happy?

I don't really know much about dogs, but whenever my cats are sad I just give them lots of attention and try to play with them. I don't know if it will work, but I hope it does.

Walk them.

1) terribly so very sorry about your dad. HOPEFULLY he will get to come home soon. :'(
2) With the way it sounds that they are so attached to him, and that the one will ONLY eat from HIM, the ONLY thing(s) I can think of are: Hopefully there are some articles of clothing lying around that still have his scent on them and haven't been washed.

A) Maybe wear one of your father's shirts or sweaters that STILL have his scent on it and cuddle with the puppies and kitten.

B) With the one that will ONLY eat out of his hand, I know this may sound silly, but does your father have any gloves that have his scent on them? Possibly Hold the glove in your hand with some puppy chow in it and let the puppy eat out of the glove?

I know when I go away for awhile, either to a friends or to my dad's to visit and my mom Kitty sits for me, she says that the kitties will be missing me like CRAZY till I get home... So, hopefully these help, and maybe watching some movie recordings with him in them...? I hope these help and good luck. And God Bless your father <3

talk to them ... it makes my pets feel better

Are your pets imaginary?

no, if they were do you think my house would smell like dog poo and pee?

I suppose it is possible that your house could smell like that without having any pets.

Kind of annoying yourself that you're using without knowing what it means.
