Question Posted Saturday September 6 2008, 11:16 pm
Ok well, on October 1st my boyfriend and I are moving out of my parents house and into our own, we have a 6 month old puppy and im just curious on a couple things. We first adopted her when she was 9 weeks from the SPCA and they said to expect a little diharrea from her just due to her being in a new place and a little nervous, well that did happen but she adapted quickly, and now that were moving ive started packing up some of our things that we wont need before we move and now whenever i pack if shes with me, which is almost all of the time, she whines, she doesnt wanna go outside because i tried that and she doesnt want food, i tried that to, i sit down and play with her and when i get back up, a few minutes later she does it again, i try to talk to her and pet her as much as possible, but do you guys think she knows something is up and is worried about going back to the shelter? and if so what should i do about it to make her feel sure that she isnt going anywhere? please help i feel so bad =[

She's probably feeling like you are going to leave her. Just give her a lot of attention. You still have to get your packing done, but when you're not packing play with her a lot. It will probably be a tough time because she will be scared your leaving her until you get to the new house. Once you're there she will understand what's going on and be just fine. Until then, it might be sad, but there is not much you can do to make her feel better. [ 0xymoron's advice column | Ask 0xymoron A Question ]

I mean don't rush it, cause I'm sure it takes time. Maybe pack things when shes even sleeping. I just think shes scared your leaving her, but I think itll be okay once she knows your not [ hollister_lover09's advice column | Ask hollister_lover09 A Question ]
