I got a dog!    We were told he's a Wirehair Daschund X Yorkshire Terrier. Seems likely enough, but neither of those really seem to account for his giant mis-matched ears or his extra-long tail, which he carries in a big curl over his back when he walks (loose curl like an Akita, not a tight curl like a Pug). PI pacification list  -was adopted from the local shelter -is already neutered -is in the process of transitioning from lovely shelter food to Wellness Small Breed -will be enrolled in the shelter’s next basic obedience class, which starts in ~2 months -has a 3b/2bath house to roam, and a ¼ acre fenced in yard to play in -will be visiting the local dog park frequently once he finishes his shots (shelter estimated him at ~10-12 months old, but he’s only just had his first round of vaccines)

Terrestrial Octopus posted:I got a dog! So its taken me a bit to gather myself, but Arthur-King-of-the-Britons went to live with a new family last week. As it turned out, he suffers from very severe seperation anxiety, and nothing we tried could help him at all. With both my boyfriend and myself working full time, it just wasn't fair for Arthur to spend so much of every weekday miserable. I wish I could've afforded to send him to doggy daycare for the rest of his life, but I can't. So, I found a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids and another young small-breed dog to keep him company; Arthur won't ever have to be alone again. I know he'll be MUCH better off, but I cried like a baby anyway. The house is just so quiet.

SilverThread posted:Adorable puppy I live in northern FL; Arthur came to us from the local animal shelter as well. He was ~ a year old when we got him, and the seperation anxiety was very firmly established. To the point that he works himself into a panic when left alone even for only a few minutes; vomiting, destroying everything in reach, making these shrill little barks/cries constantly, chewing on crate bars enough to make his mouth bleed... its awful. And yet apparently the shelter knew nothing about it.  I'd say if your girl is still exhibiting only mild symptoms, you should dig into the research on desensitization/exposure training ASAP, to try to nip it in the bud. Its heartbreaking to try to fix after the fact, and not always possible.
