Yeah, I was really scared about the cocoa powder! I watched him the whole day but he seemed fine, like nothing had happened. But then the next night he started having the runs and throwing up so I was very worried.
My mother recently had to change jobs due to low income, but she used to be a child care provider, so there was already gates up. Well, when she switched jobs my father took the gates down, and I had totally forgotten, so all we could do was leave him out with all the bedroom doors closed, and what we thought, all the food hidden or pushed back far enough that he couldn't get to it.
Yeah, I'm going to ask my parents if they could help me invest in a small crate or some gates to contain him until we get this whole seperation anxiety solved, which will take awhile.
Also, the other half of the problem to the seperation anxiety, is also that, as dogs do, he gets bored and looks for stuff to do. But the problem is, is that he won't chew on anything. If I leave pig ears out or bones, or his toys, he won't occupy himself by chewing. He doesn't chew when im here either unless I hold the pig ear until he starts, then let him finish. So while we are gone, not only does he have nothing to do, but he is also too concentrated on wondering where I am anyhow. So then he goes into 'find food' mode.
He seems to be doing much better today with his pills. I gave him a little bit of food about an hour ago and I'm going to see how well he holds it down, which will depend if I feed him a full dinner tonight.
