I am kinda of getting worried. At night she sleeps in her expen for a few hours but that's about it. When I go to work, I put her in her expen. I have a webcam on her so I can see that she doesn't really sleep in her pen. She may sleep for a few hours and then she spends the rest of the day trying to find ways to escape. Even if she manages to get out, she still spends the day roaming the house looking for me. It's the same at night. The expen is in my room but that still doesn't stop her from trying to get to me. Even when I put the expen in another room she barks all night. The only time when she has a good night's sleep is when she is in the bed with me.

I used to let her sleep with me but even with potty pads on the floor she still has accidents so I put her in the ex-pen at night. The most she is in her ex-pen while I'm at work is two days in a row. I work from home on Wednesdays so she hangs with me all day and of course she is with me all day Sat and Sun.

When I get home from work, she is so busy following me around that she will not relax. I admit it's partly my fault. Because she was a rescue who was horribly neglected, I may have showered her with too much love (if that's possible) so now she seems so emotionally needy. Any suggestions on how to help her become a little more independent and let her know that I am not going anywhere?
