Was it Puppy Love, Separation Anxiety or a Bit of Both?
So, one of my customers got a new dog and it was following me around like a little puppy! Oh ya, right, it is a puppy! Well maybe not technically because it was about a year old but when you're that small "puppydom" seems to last forever!
I asked her what kind of a dog it was and since her answer was in Italian I didn't quite get it so I looked it up when I got home. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that it is either a Toy Poodle or a Multipoo! (not sure if that is a good name to have or not and I think that it WAS toilet trained! lol)
What a fascinating little dog. I decided to dig a little deeper
What Are The The Key Characteristics of These Dogs?
- They are as cute as can be and VERY TINY!
- This one was just 10 inches (about 25 cm) at the shoulders and weighed about 6 pounds (2.5 kg )!
- They are not overly fragile but athletic and they love to play and run around!
- Toy Poodles shed very little.

I Had Never Heard of it Before But Apparently These Dogs Often Suffer From Separation Anxiety!
What is Separation Anxiety?
From Petmaltipoo.com:
"Dogs that simply cannot handle being home alone can exhibit quite severe behavioral problems. They may be very destructive (chewing anything that they can), barking up a storm, work themselves into a frenzy, try to escape from their area and even become exceedingly depressed."
Dog's Also Get Depressed?
I'd never really thought about the fact that dogs may have a fragile mental state! I have enough problems dealing with the mental state of my human family!
Puppy Love or Just Separation Anxiety?
Anyway after being around that little dog for a day I do believe that I've got puppy love and that I'm suffering from separation anxiety!
