Revisiting Dogs And Separation Anxiety
As you can see in the above picture, Abby and Charlie take their job seriously. Our routine is to drop off the garbage, sometimes we have to do 2 trips, and pick up our mail. Charlie’s separation anxiety is slowly starting to disappear. He no longer screams murder when left him in a room alone….
