I am pretty sure Buddy had one yesterday. I left him to go out shopping
and was gone for only 2hrs. When I returned he could barely breath.
He was panting so rapidly I thought he was going to have a heart attack.
I have never seen him like this before. His body was very hot so I put
his sweater on and took him out in the cool air. It had been raining and it
was cold. What's he do, roll around in the wet cold grass. I let him for a
few minutes we walked and back home.
He was calmer now. I took off his sweater and harness and when I turned around I saw blood on the marble floor. I knew he was digging once again
at the door trying to get to me after I left and cut his paw. When I looked around more
I saw blood on the kitchen wallpaper, dishwasher, stove, couch, into
mybedroom all across the wall under the windows. Hrs later I went into
the master bathroom to find bloody footprints across the counter top!
He get's up there but can't get down. Yesterday he did jump, thank
God he didn't break his leg. It seems he was trying to get to every window
in the house to get to me! Never before has anything this serious happened.
He whines and cries when I leave in the morning but never when I'm home
and leave during the afternoon. I think he paniced and went into a frenzy!
I swear, everytime I solve a problem with this guy he gives me yet another
one. He stayed by my side the rest of the day and into the night.
My 3yr old granddaughter had her first sleep over Fri night and they had
a good time together. I took her home late in the afternoon and he was fine
on Sat. Then Sun this!
I had to go to work this am and left the two bedroom doors closed,
my nightgown with him and the gate across the front door on the inside
so he can't dig the wood and cut his feet again. I looked at his pads and
nails but they seemed fine. This dog is going to put me 6ft under yet.
It's been 5yrs and he's now starting this again. He always had seperation
anxiety and I bought several devises on the market over the years but
nothing helped. Pennies in a can is the only thing but he recently became
afraid of it. Shaking etc. so I stopped using it. Now this!
I am beside myself. I can't stay home forever. Any other suggestions.
I think I tried them all.
