Revisiting Dogs And Separation Anxiety

Happy 6th Birthday To Our Abby
The mess behind the cupcakes and flowers happen to be because those cupcakes were made by one of Abby’s moms, Cynthia, from scratch. Between you and me, I wanted to buy some from a store already made, but that’s just me. We are usually so busy during Abby’s birthday every year, but not this one….

Anyway, I filled out the first application on August 2020; then in September 2020; and finally in January 2021; the applications were to foster and adopt a doggie. When it comes…
