don't know if that would cause issues with your two, but our girls do just fine...

Oh, thanks - I'll have to look for those.
If they were in the same room together, it would cause issues - definitely. (Gunner wouldn't cause the problem. Riley would.) But we always separate them when we aren't home, anyway, so that might be a nice treat for them.

I hope he keeps it up, too! The GunMan and I have been through so much together and have overcome a lot. It would kill me to give him up -he's my baby. And I don't even want to think about what it would do to him. I'm just so relieved that it seems like we won't have to think about it!

And we haven't heard anything yet, so apparently he wasn't barking while we were gone. I think we'd have heard from the neighbor by now, if he had been.

I'm starting to think that the one trainer was right though and maybe he doesn't have a true, textbook case of separation anxiety. I mean, in almost every way, it seems like he does. But if it was that, I don't think we'd be making progress this quickly.
