| Anxiety Disorder????? WHO? Is it just me??? I have had some surgeries and have to leave Tricksie for 3 to 5 hours at the time and I suffer from anxiety disorder more than she does.

| You are not alone, I am sure it is much harder on me than it is them but I hate leaving them. They are in a very safe pen when I leave but my mind always wonders to all the bad things that could happen.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Me too, I really don't like to leave Joey. It's not that I think he minds it, or that he isn't safe. I'm really too attached to him, and need some behavior modification for myself. People who say they go on vacation, and leave their dogs with someone, I just think I could never do that; he's such a huge part of my life. I wub him sooo much.

| Anxiety Disorder Me too, I invent things to worry about. Guess she and I both have OCD also, I check all door to make sure they are locked, but yet, after I leave I wonder if I should go back and check.

Lol, I totally believe in behavior modification, but it's painful, you have to do the thing you don't wish to do to get over your "fear." As long as Joey isn't neurotic, and it just my problem, and he's not suffering because of it, I will live with my separation anxiety disorder. I guess I could have hubby take Joey for short car trips, and instruct Joey to ignore me when he first gets home, I wonder if that would help? (That's an attempt at little behavior modification humor that maybe some of the "experts" might get.)

| Thank goodness I'm not the only one. Since Coco died, I've become paranoid about leaving Diva alone. I have this fear that someone will break in my house and steal her. I just feel so much safer when she is with me. I guess I need some behavior therapy myself!! |

| Behavior therapy sucks, LOL. The trainer that I am taking Kingston to is making me ignore him for 5 minutes when I walk in the door and let’s just say Kingston is doing better than I am.

| Whew! It's so good to know I'm not alone. Sometimes I feel like I worry about everything, from hawks in the sky to things on the ground they might eat. My husband thinks I'm neurotic and sometimes I wonder myself! He's always telling me to 'let them be dogs', but I just can't help myself. They are just so innocent and vulnerable.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I'm home with Lola all day so I know she's used to me being around. If I'm going to be gone for less than an hour I'm usually fine, but if it's any longer I worry so much! I just feel bad for her. And I always think something horrible is going to happen. When I left for Vegas for a week she stayed with my dad. That whole week was torture for me. I don't know that I will be able to take another vacation without her. At least not one that long! I just feel a little empty without my baby girl.

| All of us must worry when we leave them, I haven't worried quite as much since getting Suzi as well. Although she's in her cage while we're away. It's like having children eh. Hugs Shirl x x
