Re: Question about separation anxiety and eating rocks, bolts, etc.

Janus doesn't give me any relax time either, and I'm at home all the time ( no job, getting ready to move). But I expect that of him since he's 6 months old. Puppies are alot of work, but always worth every second and every penny of effort you put in them.

You also have to remember that the time you spend with your pup now is extra bonding time you have with him. And I hate to say this, but your pup won't be around forever, cherrish every second of every day you can spend with him. Time flies, and sooner or later ( prefferably later) you're going to be looking back and saying "wow, he was so much fun, all the goofy things we did together".

When I'm playing at the computer we'll play tug 'o war with his rope... I only need one hand to click a mouse, so the other is getting a work out with Janus I just gotta keep both feet planted on the floor or he'll drag me all over my office

My trick is this (since I have all day to get things done...) throw a ball (while Janus is fetching) type a line or two, throw the ball, type a line or two... same thing with regular chores. The only time this is not done is when I'm in the bathroom, cooking, or sleeping. Even when I'm sitting down to read a book, read a paragraph, throw the ball, read another paragraph, throw the ball, read a paragraph (oops already read that one), throw a ball... that way he's busy, playing, and I know he's not getting into trouble and he's not locked in his cage or tied outside. (Just be careful not to get a slimey ball when reading )
