Ok...I know, I know......I still haven't posted pictures yet of our beautiful ornament or Tubs and his secret Santa gifts! This week has been crazy. I promise I will have these pictures posted before we leave on Tuesday.
A Tubs update.....we had his annual vet visit today and he got a clean bill of health. After talking to the vet his mama's boy behaviors she said it sounds like he has separation anxiety.....just what I wanted to hear with leave him next week! She did mention something I could give him something...drops on his tongue about 20 minutes before he is put into an anxious setting. I can't remember what it was though. I have to call and ask and I will check it out and pass it along if it is something good. I have found he gets very anxious at my parents house, but whenever I take him there I have to run out some where. He paces around and pants the entire time he is there even if I am there with him. But when I am there he is right buy my side. If I go in a room and close the door he stands on the other side swatting the door and crying! Who knows, maybe leaving him for the week will make this a little better.....or worse. The one thing I am doing is wearing the same shirt to bed this week and I will leave it with him at the kennel so he has something that smells like me. Hopefully he will know mommy is coming back for him. My mom and the vet both said that he is so darn cute that they will take one look at him and play with him all week. I would like to hope so!
All of his tests came back negative and he weighs 63.6 lbs. I just hope when I get back he won't weight 50 lbs from not eating......he will be ok, he will be ok.....ok got that off my chest.....pictures......I promise!
