Oh the separation anxiety. Yes. She has that. Wanted to be with me all the time but couldn't quite keep herself out of trouble, because puppy. She hated the crate, and when I left her in the bathroom to go to the hospital with my kids she chewed the doorframe a little. I'm totally not worried about the damage and am not surprised, but it's a lot to take. I know someone will love her and help her and give her what she needs.

I'm so glad you have Sam, and that he has you. I'm sure I'll find a more mature K9 friend who is content to just be, and is more support than work. Until then, I do what I can and enjoy sleeping all the way through the night! Last night one of my boys had a bad dream and crawled into bed with me. I didn't have to get up to let out a puppy, just covered him up and went back to sleep. So nice! :)
