Re: Distressed dog......ideas please
Hello Margaret and welcome from us,I have never had this problem as we have never had less than 2 dogs so I may not be of much help, however have you tried leaving a piece of something belonging to you maybe in her bed.
It is so distressing when you know they are so unhappy, so hopefully soon you will have a new lab to join your family and your other little dog of course.
Good luck
