he he. We used to say with our last golden that she had us trained very well.

Hmmm, I hadn't really considered that our current dog might be having anxiety issues. The thing is, she was really very spoiled at the rescue. Because of the surgery she wasn't kenneled with the other dogs, she had her own room and everyone gave her lots of love & attention. I think she actually might be a little lonely here with no other dogs in the house, but most of my neighbors have dogs so I try to schedule playtime with them several days a week. Plus she gets walked twice a day and has swimming therapy twice a week.

One thing I have noticed is that she chews/eats her butt & tail hair and I've used Bitter Apple for that. Is that a sign of anxiety or maybe boredom? We've only had her a few weeks so we're still getting used to each other, and I know it will take time for both of us to adjust.

She's a real sweetie, but I really need to get a handle on the poop eating.
