Herman’s separation anxiety

September 16th, 2008 . by admin

We had become friends with a couple, Dick and Penny, through or kids at school. We had been to their house a couple of times for dinner, and even spent a very pleasant Saturday with them barbecuing on the deck at their house. I don’t really notice these things till one day my wife, Sandy, remarked that they never ever wanted to come to our house. I thought to myself that it might be that their behavior was a little strange, and I would bring the subject up as delicately as possible at the first opportunity. I slipped the subject into the conversation the next time Dick and I met, and he looked down sheepishly and replied, “Penny and I were wondering when you would bring that up. We have a problem, our daschound, Herman hates to be left alone, and if we go out he can gets really distressed. He does love company, and is especially fond of you and Sandy.    We’d like to go out more, but we really don’t know what to do.” 

I said to myself that I would do everything in my power to help Dick and Penny out of their quandary. I looked up some articles on the internet and some very bright person suggested that the owners make up a recording of their voices and play it when they left the house. When I suggested the idea to Dick and Jane and they were enthusiastic, and even suggested that we record our voices too. I have to say it was great success and now Herman can be left alone for reasonable times without distress.
