She is such a sweet (though currently quite stinky) girl. She follows me around the house and creeps into whatever enclosed space she can find. Having a dog with #anxiety is an interesting experience, especially as a sufferer myself. Dogs really are so like humans these days. The more I was able to recognize my own anxiety symptoms, the easier it was to see that she was experiencing the same things. She even is on a medication I took for a while. Hopefully it will help her better than it did me, but for now we’re experimenting and watching for any lessening of symptoms. Because no one should have to live with constant inexplicable fear, least of all my poor sweet puppy who certainly doesn’t understand that her terrors are irrational. I didn’t really mean to turn this into a whole thing on anxiety but here we are. #anxietybuddy #mentalhealth #animals
