That makes sense. G. has been with me for a little over a year, and he has suddenly developed stranger anxiety and separation anxiety. He will cling to me if someone new comes into the room. I was wondering why, but that makes sense that he has to go through that stage.

. . .Habakkuk 3: 17-18. . .

Though the fig tree may not blossum, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields produce no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls-yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
