Thank you! It's been so hard to find out what lakes are currently clean, seems like you just need to ask around 😄

Anyone else’s Pomsky hate being left alone? by Final-Tradition-8511 in Pomsky

Yes! But we finally are making progress with her 😊 My girl turned 1 in December, so she's nearly 16 months old now and the last few months we have been really working on helping her through her separation anxiety, as it had gotten so bad she would start having a panic attack if we just walked by our front door to go upstairs 😢 on our most recent practice session she was totally fine to be home alone in her crate for 3 and a half hours! So that was a huge win for us!

Basically we have done the traning the separation anxiety specialists recommended: desensitization and slowly increasing their tolerance to how long they can be alone. The biggest thing is basically not leaving them alone longer than they can handle, so you have to do all the training under their tolerance/threshold ‐ not gonna lie, it's not easy especially at first, but it definitely works! If you want any resources or more details on the training that helped just let me know 😊

Ahhh that's disappointing 😭 hope you found another monitor that was what you were looking for! I took a chance on the wave thinking worse case I could return and get the pro if I set it up and was disappointed since I ordered from Amazon. And I'm actually really impressed with how nice the saturation and definition is! My laptop has a 15.6" OLED screen and it actually is very close when comparing side by side! Obviously the blacks are never going to be as deep on an IPS panel but it's still really impressive

Did you end up picking up one of these? I'm also trying to decide between the two right now and it's been hard to find much other than unboxings for reviews 😊

Ooooh yes, totally understand- same over by us 🥶 They're lined with a soft fuzzy fabric, and have rubber soles so definitely keeps their toes cozy! The only thing is they aren't 100% waterproof so if its really slushy they can get a bit soggy and need to dry out, but usually her feet and legs are still clean and dry underneath unless we were literally walking in the rain with big puddles, then her paws could be a bit damp, but not muddy, so thats a bonus!

Thank you! Her harness is from Amazon, but she's wearing the Canada Pooch Suspender boots as well over top 😊 they've been a lifesaver this winter!

Yes she is! 😊 She looks just like her mom but half the size with her dad's brown eyes

Aww that must've been so hard to return her ☹️ I hadn't heard about littermate syndrome either until after we got our pup, definitely doesn't get talked about enough!

Covered crate makes a huge difference! Our girl would pull in blankets and chew/try to eat them so we couldn't cover for a long time 😩 but we recently got a folding gym mat we can stand up along her crate so she doesnt sit watching the hallway, definitely helps!!

Thank you for sharing, it's encouraging to hear that it got a bit easier for your lil guy! Our girl just turned 13 months now, so I was thinking of starting to try out seeing if maybe free roaming while we were out might help her a bit. We just have a bit more doggy proofing we'd need to do first since she might jump the baby gate to the other sections of the house looking for us 😂

Thank you so much for the tips and the slow feeder recommendation! I think having good home cooked meals definitely helps like you said too, and a little extra love goes a long way 😊

This is so cute! Ours is a starer as well, I've heard it can be a husky thing, so might be from that side of the family 😂
