You show them!! Sit down on the floor and play with her with these toys so she gets the idea. They catch on pretty quickly. Oh and I only save these toys for when I leave so that they become something special and exciting for him. They both get excited now when they see those toys coming out and I think they don't even know I'm gone since they are busy trying to get their treats out.

I know it's amazing how quickly they catch on. They just see me getting it and filling it and they get all excited.

I just wanted to add that since your little one is so young she isn't just having separation anxiety from you but from her mother and litter mates as well. could you buy her one of those stuffed dogs that has a heartbeat? That would comfort her when she feels lonely. Little ones sleep a great deal of the time too and she could cuddle up to it.
Just a thought.

Oh Lou that's a great idea..I saw those heart beating teddy bears at either Petco or Petsmart not sure which one.

I found both at Petco and at our doggie bakery but if you can't find them locally then Google and search. I think even Amazon might carry them as well.

Even Cheerios is great for a pancreatic/IBD/SIBO doggie, too!!

Skeeter had one and it made all the difference in the world for him. We kept him in a playpen when we left and at night.

thanks!! good idea, i had my shirt in there with her at night for her first night and she has her comfy blankets that she sleeps with every night in a doorless crate in the x pen...

i just hate the barking and crying it breaks my heart. and sometimes when i'm tired and i'm still home it actually just stresses me out lots...it's like it never stops for the whole 10-20 min i'm getting ready and it's hard to shower and think about leaving for work when she's going nutts barking....poor baby.

i'll try some puzzle toys and maybe the heartbeat toy

i'm seriously contemplating it now...it's only $10 per day and it's literally down the street from my work....when she has all her shots i may just have to bring her here when we both work for a day care day!! i can see her at lunch that way!!

good idea, makes me feels lots better!!

I have made a frozen snack for my pups inbetween meals and they go nuts for it ...keeps em busy for at least 30 minutes and thats with four of them.
I mix plain yoguart,peanut butter and honey all together put in dixie cups and freeze.Peel off the cups and you have a frozen treat that will keep her busy at least it may keep her distracted until you get out the door
