Thank you so much for your words. I haven't really thought about looking for groups around me. My husband saw that suggestion and agreed that I should.
My husband works afternoons so he normally gets home around midnight, so I don't know if that plays a role in why she waits until later. Yesterday he was home all day and she ate around 9:30pm, after we had left her in her pen and gone for a drive. I think my stress just makes her worse. I never thought that maybe she associates not eating with negative emotions. We don't really have a routine here, but that is a good idea. She loves going outside, so maybe I will start taking her out after she eats and see if that makes her happy.

Thank you. I will look into a book, my options of people to talk to are limited. My doctor that helped me a lot moved far away and I can only see her once in a while because she is almost 2 hours away. I didn't go in to detail but I am obsessive with Google. I Google everything about me and about her. I have been afraid of myself having cancer and every twitch or stumble she does I think she is about to have a seizure or random liver issues have started (I have asked the vet over and over and they have reassured me that her liver was perfectly fine and I shouldn't worry. They know her and know how paranoid I am and if they felt that there was anything wrong, they would have been on it)
I actually can't work yet. I have severe social anxiety and am terrified of driving in the snow. My doctor (the one that thinks dogs are just dogs) and I are working on that currently though. I have started to crochet though and have been baking all of my mom's old recipes lately and turns out I am pretty good at baking!

I will ask -- how much exercise do you and your pup get? Walking is great for every being and helps stimulate appetite and is healthy. Helps with depression as well.
Wishing you both well! |
I am ashamed to say that we do not get a lot of exercise. I have trouble getting out of the house somedays. I have taken her for a couple of walks today and yesterday and she seemed to love them. I just kept telling myself that she will be fine and is vaccinated and dogs can walk outside and will be fine.
