my 5 month old basset seems to have a hard time being alone. when I take out the trash or run out to my car for something, you would think the world is ending the way she cries. it doesn’t seem like she can’t play independently – she just doesn’t want to be alone. I’m really beginning to wonder if she has separation anxiety going on. When I’m busying myself around the house, she’s locked in my living room with everything she needs (so she doesn’t get into things or chase my cat) , she can see me as I’m walking back and forth. But she can’t relax. Once i sit down on the couch, she will play with toys or take a snooze. Maybe just part of the basset stubborn nature i don’t know.

Today I had to go to a work party, luckily they let me leave early so I could go let him out and walk him. He is with me constantly on weekends, and gets 3 walks a day. But I feel sooooo guilty during mandatory outings that I can’t get out of. What are some pick me ups you do for your basset when your gone for longer periods? 💔 Just stating he is a rescue and he does not like dog parks or playing with other dogs much. He’s also a one person dog as anyone else besides me he is terrified of.

Hi, my girl is always fighting off ear infection in her right ear. I have another dog whom gets the 123 for licking it. Vet meds work but it always comes back. It’s a once a day peroxide spray and I find witch hazel bath after that seams to keep it at bay. Trying everything, anti fungus, ect .
