Back to School - Separation Anxiety


"Russ, My small humans have gone back to school and I am feeling a little down. They usual just irritate me but I kind of miss them."

Sounds like you have Separation Anxiety. Here is a quick test to see if you got it;

- Are you barking continuously during the day, perhaps after a build-up of whining?
- Do you get stressed when it looks like they are going to leave?
- Are you chewing everything you can get your paws on?
- When they return do you find yourself bouncing off the walls with joy?

Thing you can do;

- Demand more together time. Perhaps long walks or playtime.
- Ask for something to keep you busy when they're gone. Maybe a Kong filled with peanut butter.
- Request to be brought to a friends or daycare.
- Try not to focus on them leaving...

I hope this helped. I personally fixed my anxiety by blogging....

I get this, but I have got a lot better in my old age!

I used to have that problem when I was a puppy but I've gotten much better. As long as I'm with my bestest friend in the whole wide world, my big sister Penny...I'm OK.

Russell!

Love the snout shot! Those are my fave.

Good suggestions on the SA problem. I just repeatedly clean my cat, Merv, from head to paw until someone comes home.

Goob love,
Stanley
