Separation Anxiety Dog Blog

Today I was enjoying a true Michigan rarity, Indian summer in November.  Amidst our falling autumn foliage and the crinkling of leaves, I heard my neighbor’s dog barking.  It was a reminder that I am not in this canine separation anxiety alone.

 

 

 

 

Yes, if I were to diagnose, I’d say that my next-door neighbor dog, Carmine, has separation anxiety too.  I think Max and I set him off when we were outside enjoying the near-seventy degree day complete with full sunshine.  Carmine has a good howl and he made it clear that he was not happy about being home alone.

 

Max, on the other hand, could not wait to see me leave today.  I saw no signs of a dog anxiety attack.  He wanted me to head out the door and leave him with some yummy food.  I obliged with a stuffed Kong and stuffed Squirrel Dude. 

 

Upon my return, my dog was very excited to see me.  He seemed a bit anxious yet there were no signs of “bad dog behavior”.  Nothing was wrecked, no spilled garbage, no claw marks any where.  Phew!
