Every time little Indie Pie comes home with me, she just LOVES to follow me everywhere around the house. I think that this is AMAZING and I love how she shadows me! Mitch, on the other hand, doesn’t think this is so great. He says that this behavior is the beginning stages of separation anxiety.

It is true whenever I leave her alone, Indie starts to whine. So of course I pick her up and take her wherever I am going. Mitch says that in order to change this, you need to come and leave without overly acknowledging your companion. Long goodbyes and extraneous hellos make it easier for your pooch to get attached and as such, harder to cope without your constant attention.

Maybe Mitch is right, but those adoring eyes and little smirk make it difficult for me to leave Indie by herself…perhaps it’s me with the separation issues!!!
