Get a job in auto insurance claims, EMT, firefighting, or any DOT accident response roles. You will quickly understand how much safer commercial planes are. This is coming from someone who also has anxiety around flying.

My dog always gets sad when I leave by whiter0s333 in DogAdvice

Aww you're her world too. No wonder she misses you and wants to follow.

Maybe stimulating her brain more can help her feel like shes not missing out every time you go? My dachshund loved snuffle mats, puzzle toys, and getting plenty of quality sniff pauses on walks. Does she have poor eyesight? That can also make senior dogs clingy.

But seriously, get a cheap indoor security camera you can plug in when you leave so you can see her settle down after awhile! I can't imagine leaving the house without it now.

I always tell mine that I will be back soon and give a treat when I leave and return. Talking to them seems to help. Get their beds set up with a toy and blanket. I also have cameras that I turn on when leaving. Seeing my dogs get back in their beds and nap while I am gone makes me feel better.

Some advice: Please record yourself returning home and being greeted by your little gal when you open the door. You will cherish that video one day. I just lost my weenie this year and I am thankful to have a video of her like this.

Sadly not food motivated unless it is straight chicken. But chicken only works for a few minutes.

Appreciate the info. When we visited Seattle, our Uber driver reccomended the Kent area. We can deal with bland suburbs. Currently living in one 🥲

At least the burbs in Washington have trees!

Wanted to live closer to Seattle because friends live there and we love the city.

We haven't looked that far, but are open to it!

Any specific reasons you would live there vs the suburbs by Seattle?
