Is your dog anxious about school?
No joke! I just got this press release about helping your dog to adjust to back to school. I laughed and rolled my eyes, but I am not a dog person, so I am allowed to do that. Here is the gist of the text:
“Back to school time can be especially stressful on the family dog. After a summer of having people around him all day, suddenly Fido is left alone all day when vacation is over and the kids go back to school. This can cause separation anxiety, which often results in destructive behavior.”
So, I sarcastically alerted the newsroom that if anyone is concerned about their dog when the kids go back to school, we now have a solution. My editor quickly pointed out that she gives her dog anti-anxiety pills. Hmmm.
I can understand the behavior issues. My parents’ cat flips out when her schedule is altered. She lives outside or in the basement now after she urinated on the carpet in defiance of the empty household during the day. The vet suggested we give her anxiety pills. My dad suggested the vet was crazier than the cat. Seriously, have you ever given a cat a pill? My dad would gladly give away our very loving furball if anyone wants to cure her of separation anxiety.
