Poor Beezer... shaken up

[Freedom]

Has Beezer stayed at a kennel before? At THAT kennel before? Sorry, I don't remember.

I'm just wondering if it was the separation from home/mom/routine rather than the earthquakes?

Either way, it does sound like separation anxiety now, and what Karen and boomersooner said address how to cope and correct that.

Hugs, Beezer!

thanks for the advice

It's hard because I DO spend 90% of my time inside the gated area (the gated area is actually for Hannah lol) so most of the time when I do leave the gated area it's for the night but I have been leaving him inside the gate when I go to the bathroom or run downstairs for soemthing or go get the mail and he seems to be better about staying behind the gate for a couple of minutes although I do come back to him laying right in front of the gate waiting for me. but nighttime is still a no go for him. he just HAS to be with us... although I make him sleep on his bed on the floor and not in my bed as there is no room.

Oddly... it seems to be ME that he wants. This morning Brian got up and was out in the living room with the pups while I stayed in bed and Beezer still scratched and cried and barked at the gate to get to me... but Brian didn't let him out so he eventually gave up lol. So he does seem to be improving a little each day.

yes this is the same kennel they always stay at and they go there quite a few times throughout the year (although usually for shorter periods of time like 2 or 3 days) So it was strange when he came home all out of sorts... although it didn't get bad until a couple days after they came home (after there was another earthquake I later discovered)
