After haunting the local humane society shelters, watching Craigslist, and checking the animal control pound, I finally got me a dawg from a local no-kill shelter. Sweet tempered, about 4 years old, spayed, 40 pounds of what appears to be at least mostly foxhound. (Think: racing beagle). Already housebroken, calm, no barking issues....
Massive separation anxiety. I’ve had to leave her crated twice, both times for about a couple of hours, once for a dental appointment, once for an annual checkup. Both times, she peed and shat the crate, distributing the efffluvia for 2 feet around the crate, and nearly destroying the bedding. This is REALLY gonna cramp my ability to do errands and shopping, to say nothing of shooting and hunting.
I have NOW found out I’m her fourth owner.
Damn. Any suggestions?
