Tuesday night poor old thing

So he suffers with separation anxiety and how do you think this might show itself do you think? He becomes anxious, yes and he pants heavily, yes.
What else?
Do you think he might show this by damaging things perhaps, chewing table legs and tearing tea towels and being generally destructive? Do you think he might bark uncontrollably hoping you will reappear? Or do you think he might run around and around madly pacing up and down caged bear like?

Well consider this. His chosen manifestation for separation is in fact....to window lick, our new dog is a professional window licker! To be more specific he attaches his tongue to the glass in the nearest door and pants and wimpers himself into a right old state until eventually, inevitably drool falls freely down the glass, down his chest and forms little puddles on the floor at his feet.

After two relatively calm nights with us the penny obviously dropped and the poor old thing got himself in a right state. At 1am I came down to try and settle him again (barefoot eeewwk) he eventually did but at 4am I heard him again. He did eventually settle but when I went down at 7am he was in the garage and his chest was all wet and he had had a rotten night.

On this weeks shopping list are a new mop, a large bottle of window cleaner and a pair of slippers.
