I know we all have to leave our furbabies at home once in awhile at least. However, when I leave Lexi (in her puppy play pen with plenty of toys, food/water, bed & potty pad) she will be SO distraught when I return that I am concerned it will cause some type of permanent "scarring" & possibly issues throughout her life which I definitely do NOT want to do.
She will be "screaming" when I leave & "screaming" when I return (even when I try sneaking in just to see if she is still crying). This obviously exhausts her. When I return, she will be just panicky, acting scared & not her normal self at all. She will act very timid then & not play for hours & be stuck like glue to me. She usually won't eat much at all the rest of the day. Is this typical behavior or something much more deep & concerning? It certainly has me concerned. I HATE seeing her this way but I just can't always take her with me. Help!
