We are having construction on our house, replacing windows, adding one, jacking up the sinking living room with several guys outside the house banging around as well as coming inside. Monday and Tuesday Tom went to the kennel for the day. On Wednesday it didn't work out because Mother wouldn't be around at the time of day he needs to be picked up. Tom went in the morning to drop me off with a friend for whale watching (potential internship). Then they came back to the house after the guys had arrived. And Tom paid attention to them walking up to the house past the men, but once he got inside he was pretty much fine and spent the day upstairs.
My first guess was that because he hadn't seen them arrive he hadn't gotten into the pattern of "hear motor, hear car driving on gravel, see people walking up brick walk..."
But then on Thursday he was here when they arrived because they came early and he was still fine. Today he was sleeping on my bed when I woke up while they were working. Mother says that he did a little vocalizing and rushed downstairs when the trucks first came but she was able to do redirect him to eye contact. Go figure. I thought this would surely set him off, but he seems okay with it.
