No. Because they are too busy with their enrichment toy and treats.

I don't want to distract them and kick off a separation anxiety ritual.

With birds and numerous varieties of rodents in our house, a simple "Bye, guys" is effective enough.

Obviously. I explain where I'm going and how long I'll be. They need to know. And they listen intently. Staring at the treats in my hand.

Yes if she is around it's a quick bye. I don't hang around.

we have other special moments spread throughout the day/night. Like sleeping on my chest 10cm away from my face purring happily. Thanks. I'm about to pee myself.

Yep. Usually early morning when we're on the way to see other pets, who we'll then say goodbye to as we return to the aforementioned pets, before doing the same thing again in the evening.

*they all get a 'good morning' and good night' too. Even the fish.

I tend to put a fairly calm podcast on to keep him happy when I go out.

There used to be an excellent one called "My dog's favourite podcast" but they only did 2 episodes so even played back to back you only get a few hours cover.

It makes getting home more fun for them. Weather we've been out 10 mins, 10hrs, 10 days. The greeting is always the same. Bonkers. Lol. You don't come to our house and not get cuddles. Wanted or not.

Has to be done, along with the explanation and a request that he behaves.

That and goodbye to Alexa, she's pretty good, replies back and goes round and makes sure I've switched everything off before I depart and if the hound grumbles, plays music for him and let's me know.

They're well behaved though, never any damage or mishaps and always pleased to see me when I get home.

I always tell my dog that I'm going out, and to look after the cat and make sure he doesn't get up to mischief.

Then I make sure I tell the cat that I realise he's actually in charge, and I'm counting on him to keep an eye on the dog, because she's a bit of a ditz.

Before heading out, friends of mine ask their adorable hound what radio station he’d like to listen to and raise the blind at his favourite window so he can see out.

It’s either Absolute 80’s or Radio 2 before you ask.

I have a parrot so either he notices I am heading out and says "See you later", "Good Bye!"

or I do.

Just to add.. the dogs and cats don't really notice.

And a wild roaming Peacock who seems to think we're a food bank always hangs around around breakfast time and back to an evening meal.
