Tinker barks

Yes, you read that correctly, little Tinker BARKS!!! like a mad woman!!! I was so shocked i kept her in her crate (she didn't know i was home... hence the barking. I was practicing leaving her in her crate for 30 seconds, then 1 minute...) to see how long she would bark... after 5 minutes i let her know i was home (walked so she could hear me) and she stopped so then i let her out... and she had already peed so i know its nervousness that causes it. but the little monkey can bark...

Tinker in the pen eating the
bone she would not eat while i was gone.
Its funny, as soon as i get home
she ignores me for the bone.....

So i bought an exercise pen and set it up so her food, water, bed, some newspaper and one puppy pad are always in there. So it now can become her home and hopefully over time leaving her will become less traumatic.

I also bought rescue remedy, a holistic approach to help take care of stress and anxiety. The lady at the store said 2 other people came in looking for it for their dogs as well... we'll see how it works along with behavioral techniques and a "home of her own." sigh... whoever said the 1st two weeks were the toughest wasn't exactly right in our case.... When i got home i took some of the drops myself (its for people too! don't worry).

She is such a boston terrier thats all i can say.... (and i love her to death for it)
