Our newly adopted 9-year-old puppy mill survivor Sadie very quickly (and thoroughly!) bonded with me. However, she continues (after 6 weeks) to resist any overtures by my husband. This is a particular problem because she also suffers serious separation anxiety, even when I leave the room for a few minutes...including inappropriate peeing and pooping. This behavior persists even when she is left in my husband's care, which is understandably affecting his relationship with her (and probably even his desire to have a relationship with her). Has anyone experienced this within their family unit? Any words of encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would also like to thank everyone who responded to my initial posts immediately after Sadie's adoption. She is in many respects settling in very well. If we can figure out the separation anxiety (hoping the new Clomicalm prescription helps) and the husband situation, we'll be all set.
