Thank you for the replies and I apologize for sad memories that it has brought back. We too often have to clap to get Emme's attention. I wonder if the being alone has something to do with her change in behavior. Her favorite spot in the house is at the top of the stairs by herself though. But since reading that I have noticed that today she is either at the top of the stairs or in the room that I am in. I might try leaving her in the crate tonight in the same room that I am in. I know there must have been a reason that they put her in the bathroom because she used to sleep in the room with them. I am going to take the towel out of there though any time I leave her in it. I came home today and not only did she have threads twisted around her bottom teeth, but around her top teeth too. I didn't notice that immediately and was nervous when I did see it. It is funny that other than those things, during the day when someone is here with her, she is very much like her normal self, just a little slower. Thanks again for the responses.
