We are pretty sure he does have separation anxiety because it is only when we are out or asleep, when we won't catch him in the act. Now that I think about it, he hasn't done it since the kids were out of school because they were home most of the time. Maybe in the back of his mind he is thinking someone could come home at any minute and catch me. It used to be we would go out and come back 3 mins. later and he would have already done soemthing. We too have tried leaving the tv on for him, but it didn't really do anything for him. Thanks! :-D
