Since bringing Lulu home, she has slept in her own bed in our room. We get up in the am, go to the bathroom, eat and from that point on she is attached to my side. If I leave the room, she barks, whines and goes crazy and if she is with one of my sons or hubby does her darndest to come after me. When I have to put her in her x-pen while cleaning, etc, she paces back and forth, whining, yelping...and when we left her alone last week for a few hours she went crazy and started pushing her body against the sides of the pen while pacing and moved it a good 10 feet across the floor. I know about her behavior while we're gone because my mom (she lives with us) happened to be home on this particular day and heard her making such a big commotion and "rescued" her. I realize she loves being with us as we do being there with her but on the times we can't, I would like to know she is "ok" and not sad the whole time we're gone. We have tried the gradual thing but she isn't ok even for a little while...it breaks my heart...
