Alright, so some of you may know about my pup Luke. He has separation anxiety which I am trying to work with. I am thinking about taking him to the vet to discuss what sort of options are available if it must come to this. However I am giving it a week or so.
I have been offered a pair of cats -- which I would dearly love to take in. my concern is to what extent it might stress Luke. I am also wondering if it might be a a positive thing for him. He came from a home of 4 humans and 2 dogs. I think this could be partly why he is so lonely and anxious when I leave my home. I don't want to make any unwise decisions concerning Luke's health... But I was thinking that he may enjoy their presence and maybe they could play together. I know cats can be sort of aloof so maybe this isn't the case... I'd just like to hear some opinions.
I am more of a homebody than one that is out of the home often. I work full time, and when I am not at work I'm usually home taking care of my pets, cooking, cleaning, playing music or writing, so time isn't really an issue. Plus I know cats are independant in their ways, of course they think they are above the human race and they don't really need us -- hah!
Anyway, any thoughts, expeiriences or advice would be appreciated : )
