But I miss you

Indy isn't doing so great these days. He's had separation anxiety for a long time now, and he's had some good patches and some bad patches, but this is a really bad patch.

For a while, we even thought we could lower his Prozac dose, but I wouldn't even consider it now. He's back to ripping up his nails and pads trying to claw his way out of his crate, and he howls almost as soon as I leave the house in the mornings.

In addition, any change to his schedule now really, really freaks him out. He's not being particularly nice to the other dogs, though I can understand the desire to nip at Kaylee - she's a bit of a brat.

And yesterday, he lunged at me and knocked me down. He's jumped up on me before, but never like this. It really upset me, though I wasn't hurt. I think Indy's getting a bit more aggressive - though I know he's not dangerous. He just seems to be having trouble controlling himself. He tries, though, and that's one of the reasons it upsets me so much. I know he can do it, but his wacked out little brain just won't let him.

I know he's not getting as much exersize as he should be right now, but he wasn't before he started acting up again, either. I guess we'll just do what we always do: wait it out and hope he gets back to a good place again.
