You're an animal but I want you to act like a person.
As Carleen mentioned, Arnie has be having some issues. After yesterday's fiasco I purchased some new chew toys and a new bed. Drove Carleen to work this morning and in 25 minutes he had the bed in ruins. (Sigh). I'm not upset with the dog, I'm upset with myself. It's a dog and should act like one, not expected to act like a person.
I didn't initially go for crating, but boy oh boy, I do now! So I ordered one, real cheap from Petco. Memorial Day sale and free shipping (yeah) won't get here until next week (boo). Aunt Jill mentioned some good things about crates and Maggie. Also, I figured that with moving soon and me working (hopefully) next school year, we got to get him used to it.
Needless to say, I am very drained by all these recent events. Love the pup. Reading a lot. Learning a lot. Really love the pup. Loved that hat, too. But still, very drained.

I just read a piece on NPR about a new book on dog behavior. Check it out! http://www.npr.org/2011/05/26/136497064/the-new-science-of-understanding-dog-behavior
Yeah, I heard a bit of it on 'Fresh Air'. All about the psychology of dogs, but some instruction, including dealing with sep. anx. I'm trying it out now. Thanks!
