Oops, puppie prozac ain't working

[mckitterick]

So the pooch lost it yesterday in OUR NEW HOME, eating the front blinds, the back curtain, the grocery-bag bag, and knocking over as much as she could near the front and back doors. Not a whole lot of blood spattered around, but enough to squick one out. Hard to know if she chewed the handles, because they're both solid and the front one was already scratched up. Sigh.

Next step: Double the puppie prozac dose.

Step after that: The "Final Solution," I'm afraid.

Anyone know somebody who's a homebody, an older person or shut-in who will always be around during thunderstorms? She's a great dog, the sweetest thing ever, and no trouble during storms as long as she's around people. But she doesn't have long to live as long as she's our dog.

oh, man, what a bad deal. I'm so sorry, she seemed to be doing well up to the move.

Heh, no, before the move she was losing it about every week. Since the move, she's been doing great, because of all the dry weather. But the first big storm and wham!

Sigh.

oh dear! I am so sorry, both for hope, and the both of you for seeing her so upset!!!!

No hope for hope...?

So she doesn't get upset if someone's there? Why not advertise her in the local newspapers? Did you say you tried putting her in a kennel during storms, too?

I'd hate to see Hope go.

We may try the newpaper or the Washington state collie rescue organization (not many thunderstorms there), but the kennel was a no-go, since she wrecked her mouth chewing on the bars.
