[QUOTE="witzend, post: 347396, member: 99"] Yes, they will remember him. M was gone for almost 6 years before Bubba saw him again. I think it is the same for our dogs as if they went away to college and became a doctor. They don't judge. They just love. M wasn't always nice to Bubba, but he took care of his needs quite a bit. M came to our house this weekend to change clothes before husband's B-Day party. Bubba sleeps on his sofa which is free-standing right inside the door from the garage. Bubba is nearly blind and deaf these days. We walked in and he barked - that's what Dalmatians do - and then he sniffed, and he figured out that M was there. Bubba nearly crawled over the back of the sofa to see him. He would have if he hadn't known that he would have hurt himself doing it. He can barely get down the 8" step to the back yard to go potty anymore. He often doesn't go because it's just too difficult. But he was [I]so[/I] excited to see M! It warmed my heart. I had to make M go around to the front of the sofa to see Bubba so that Bubba wouldn't get hurt. From that moment on it was Bubba vocalizing his happiness at seeing M, following him around, etc. It'll be crazy for you, but your dogs will be thrilled to see your difficult child. [/QUOTE]
