*i'm prefacing this post saying that i'm a compulsive worrier when it comes to madison hehe*
a little back ground on madison:
8 months old, was raised from the ages of 8 weeks to 5 months with a family of 4 people, 2 dogs, cats, and birds. she got along great with the dogs and they with her.
now:
at 5 months i adopted her and she now lives with me and my mother. no other pets. she does occasionally experience separation anxiety- neither my mom or myself can take a shower w/o her whining at the bathroom door and she whines when mom leaves for work for a brief period of time. i work from home so the only time she is normally alone (and when she is, she's crated) is once a week for about 4 hrs while i attend training and a couple hrs on sunday while i'm at church. since we adopted her she's only spent 2 brief periods socializing with other dogs, last saturday at a dog park for an hr and a half and last sun. for 2 hrs for a temperament evaluation at the ruff house doggy day care.
next week:
monday madison goes in for shots, micro-chipping, and spaying. saturday morning we leave for vacation and will return late thurs (the 26th). while we are gone madison will be boarded at the ruff house run by my uncle and cousin. uncle arrives between 5-6am and leaves between 9-10pm. i'm really nervous about leaving her there- thank God for the web cams on their websites. my main concerns are how she will deal with being alone at nite and i fear that she will think we abandoned her. what may i experience/expect when we bring her home? please put me at ease!
