[quote=Anonymous]Just chiming in with sympathy. I adopted two seniors who had both been given up by their longtime families (separately). They don't especially like each other, but fortunately both seem pretty emotionally resilient. I do look at them every night as we all settle down to bed and get teary at the thought of how much unwanted change they've had in their lives. One of them is pretty glued to me and the other, who is less of a velcro dog, actually needs more pro-active attention. As a PP suggested, I spend some quality time lying on the floor with her every evening and she loves it. They are hounds and they love long, meandering walks where they can just sniff and read the neighborhood mail. It seems to calm both of them. All that, and Xanax for occasional anxiety has worked wonders in the more anxious of the two. Thank you for adopting a senior![/quote]
