I know exactly what your going through... im doing the same thing right now.. Diesel is 7 weeks and its hard to leave him at home at such a young age.. my boyfriend is also very frustrated because we never go out anymore. so i usually try to get him to play with diesel. after a few min of them playing my boyfriend warms right up and he is not so frustrated... he still does get a bit upset sometimes but i just have to remind him that everything will work out.
