Good morning! I am the happy owner of a well-trained, beloved, never-yappy-in-her-life, 13y/old Yorkie. Because she's become blind, I recently removed her Doggy Steps from the sofa b/c I came home to find that she got "lost" and messed on the sofa (she's used these steps for over 3 years now so I don't understand what suddenly happened!
), as well I feared that she would take that wrong step and crash into the hardwood floor and break her tiny bones. So I bought her a big, fat comfy bed in place of the steps and in the morning she goes to the comfy bed and curls up after her brekkie and business are done. But 10 minutes after I'm gone, all hell breaks loose! Now she yells at the top of her lungs (something she has NEVER done!), waking my guest after I've gone to work early in the morning. My guest will go to her and try to comfort her and Trixie's quiet for a few moments - then she starts right up again after my guest goes back to bed. This goes on for a couple of hours and I've got to do something to end this for my guest and I are frustrated. I've called the vet to see if maybe he can prescribe a calmant for her but other than that, I'm at my wits end. I've read some of the good folks here and surely you must have some suggestions/solutions? Anything at all will be welcome - thank you so much!
