That's a thought - I was at my brother's place for 12 days - and he has 2 dogs and 2 cats. But I was there last Fall too, and didn't get this kind of reaction from Sparky when I came home that time.

Another thought I had, was maybe he was traumatized by a thunder storm when he and Myndi were alone during the day when my son and DIL were at work. They said that there were a couple of afternoon storms before they got home from work. The past couple of years, Sparky has developed a fear of them, and wants to be in someone's lap when it's storming. We had a bad storm late last night, and he was under the comforter and snuggled up against me until it was over. Maybe it terrified him that there was no one to "protect" him during those afternoon storms.

I don't know! I'm grasping at straws at this point!
