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 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

The anti-anxiety medicine xanax is wholly capable of facilitating your war against anxiety as it is the most widely recognized medication to treat anxiety disorders, especially generalized anxiety disorders and altogether Xanax can treat a whole lot of anxieties related to panic disorders and depression. Before you move on to administer Xanax and treat your anxiety, get hold of Xanax tidbits from the site http://www.pill-care.com

Some of the medications to treat anxiety and stress such as Xanax can be immensely beneficial for you if you swallow the pill as per the instructions of the doctor. But if you get hold of the idea that crushing Xanax and then taking it or snorting xanax would be better for treating your anxiety, then you are totally wrong. It is never beneficial to snort Xanax as the binders and fillers in the Xanax pill that are meant to be digested only via swallowing the pill, would be automatically fixed to your body and terrible harm would inevitably ensue. http://www.xanax-effects.com /
