Wasn't sure really to place this so please forgive me if it should be somewhere else...
When Lulu is in her x-pen, I have noticed she paces back and forth...from one end to the other (we have it set up in a rectangular shape). I know she really doesn't like being in it...she would rather us hold her or be in our laps all the time. I can't let her run around the house as she will pee and poo any and everywhere...never on the pads I have laid out for her and never in the same place... but she does go on her pad when she is in her x-pen. Anyway, I know this is probably normal but I feel so bad when she does this. She has lots of toys to play with but, instead, either paces or sits and looks at us with her sad eyes.
Also, how do you ease separation anxiety when you can't take her little furbaby with you? I try to never leave her for more than 3-4 hours by herself...but it doesn't seem to matter if I am gone 20 min or 2 hours she whines, cries and paces to the point that she pushes her x-pen across the floor. I found this out by leaving my mom at home (she lives with us) one day while my hubby, 2 sons and myself went out of town for a few hours. My mom was in her room and could hear Lulu howling and crying as soon as we went out the door...my mom said she was so afraid Lulu was going to hurt herself so she took her out of her x-pen and she spent the day with my mom in her bed with her watching tv. I felt like such a bad mommy when I heard about this.
