What about TV & radio? Did that help to calm her?
No, she and Buddy both have to be crated when I'm gone. Once in a while I get brave (or stupid... how ever you want to look at it) and I'll leave them gated in my bed room....

well.. these are the things I come home to find....


or this...

(my bed WAS made when I left the house that morning)



So I HAVE to keep them both in crates while I'm gone for more than 2 or 3 hours. The only time she's ever broken out of her crate is when Buddy is not there.

I leave a radio on for them everyday.
