I've moved recently and my little dog is having a hard time. Rico walks around with his tail down, totally confused, refuses to come into the building or get on the elevator, and keeps staring at me with his big sad eyes.
Breaks my heart. I had figured that just being with me, would be enough. Obviously not. LOL.
I'm trying everything - thunder coats, calming collars, diffusers that you plug into the wall that emit calming substances (pheromones) into the air. I bought him his own really furry rug to roll around in, I take him places, try to show him that we will have new adventures in the neighborhood, but alas, no luck so far.
So today I took him to buy a new crate that is more den-like, at the advice of my trainer, and some raw meaty bones. I don't want to leave him loose yet because we look out into a courtyard where people walk their dogs. Whew - that really sets him off.
So short of having to buy him his own home - LOL - I'm hoping all this stuff will work.
So... a new challenge for the both of us. And bit by bit we'll adjust.
By the way, if anyone has any suggestions, please email me at suzannehurleysue@gmail.com.
Thanks for listening. I'll keep you informed on how we do.
