Separation Anxiety--could you be making it worse?
Here's an excerpt from an excellent article from Animal Wellness Magazine on separation anxiety. Click here to read the full article.

You may be contributing to your dog's fear without even realizing it.
Wendy adopted a collie mix recently. He soon developed separation anxiety, and she didn’t know why. Then a trainer told her it was because of the way she acted whenever she left the house. “I hated leaving him alone and always made a big fuss of him, telling him over and over that I’d be home soon,” Wendy says. “I was as worried about leaving him as he was to be left, and it was making him anxious.”
As this example shows, separation anxiety isn’t always just about the dog. I have found over the years, when working to solve this issue, that there are several ways people can unintentionally trigger separation anxiety in their dogs. By watching out for these relationship errors, you can avoid or more quickly stop separation anxiety before it becomes a severe problem.

Piggy is a very special soul. He came from a home that did not socialize him with the outside world. He is afraid of everything but he is NEVER sassy. He just needs a special home that has time and patience to acclimate him to the “good life”. If you have lots of love to give to a creature that is so in need please consider Piggy.
Scout is a beautiful 6 year old male kitty that loves life and he takes it as it comes. He is very cuddly and loves his people. Currently Scout is living at the Petco in Delafield as part of a special program that Petco has to help homeless pets find homes first!
Have a wonderful weekend!
