Just had to go out to the post office to pick up yet another E-bay purchase :ph34r: and I left Beau in the hall as I was only going to be out 10 mins. I basically just shut the door behind me with him standing there.
Came back and he was lying quite the thing on the hall carpet!
Sophie would have been at the living room window on her back legs watching down the street with PANIC written over her face! :blink:
Not counting my chickens yet though!

That sounds really good!
Well, today was Braehead day - massive window shopping session planned to keep up the being out of the house for a couple of hours caper! :)
Paul away at his mates, so I got glammed up and headed off on my own.
When I got there it took 25 mins to park the car due to the THOUSANDS of Crimbo shoppers, but I thought, "No, I am not getting stressed out today"
Came home empty handed (and very proud of myself for being so considering I have not been shopping for weeks!) and with a happy heart. :D
Until I got out of the car. :ph34r:
The hound of the Baskervilles has taken up residence in my house in the body of Beau. :angry:
MP3 recording confirms that he started howling within 11 mins of me leaving and then continued until the recording ran out 2hrs later - and was still going when I got home 1hr after that. :angry:
I am getting so fed up with the whole up and down stress levels now - will see what happens tomorrow when I go out, but it is not looking good. He has the howling idea in his head now. :unsure:

Oh you poor thing. I haven't followed your story right from the start but I really feel for you. Have you tried a DAP diffuser? The vet recommended one for stress (that's Beau not you - yours would be a large glass of wine).
It is supposed to calm them and be useful for separation anxiety. I bought one for Ben's barking in the morning. It's a bit hit and miss but I'll try anything. Looking at the instructions it takes between 1 and 3 months depending on the problem .............. you may have tried one but it's just a thought.
