That was when I was working full time away from home. After having kids and me being home most of the time, we took her off of the Prozac. As she has gotten older, she has grown more fearful of thunderstorms (which are plentiful here in OK). Our vet gave us acepromazine (a tranquilizer) to be used when we are going to be away from her during a thunderstorm. We don't like to have to give her that, but sometimes we have to and it does relax her considerably. She isn't bothered by storms if we are home though. It is quite a task to figure out all of the quirks of a Weim, but of course after almost 11 years, we still think it is worth it! :)jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981413070256505029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-19323066210220634362011-09-02T20:21:43.760-04:002011-09-02T20:21:43.760-04:00Jill!

What solutions have you found?17aparthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176955042705963326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-64356360932061690892011-09-02T17:30:55.726-04:002011-09-02T17:30:55.726-04:00Hi Mary!

We have a Weimaraner too, and we too have dealt with the separation anxiety. <br />Our Riley (now age 10) once tried to chew through a door during a thunderstorm. We were gone, and she must have thought we were waiting just on the other side of that door. <br />It's a good thing she is so very sweet and loving! Here's a picture of her on my blog: http://bellalulublog.blogspot.com/2010/03/funny-thing-happened.html<br />Your Basil is so beautiful, and I do love his new collar!jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981413070256505029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-62522934515503500172011-08-26T00:47:33.055-04:002011-08-26T00:47:33.055-04:00Hah! You guys are funny!
I see what you mean but...Hah! You guys are funny! <br /><br />I see what you mean but I can definitely tell that, that is his ear. The little grayish white spot there looks funny because his tongue is curled up and his ear is showing from behind. No worries - Basil is lookin' good, especially his shiny coat, I can tell he has an excellent diet. And I am a complete sucker for big floppy ears - I fall in love with Buddy's over and over again everyday :)Hande & Buddyhttp://www.silly-buddy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-56350637821155801572011-08-25T21:45:05.014-04:002011-08-25T21:45:05.014-04:00Please excuse my spelling errors above! Here's...Please excuse my spelling errors above! Here's what I meant: <br /><br />Hande, thanks so much for your kind comments and even more for our favorite new collar! We will continue to exercise Basil - maybe I need to do an afternoon walk as well.<br /><br />On a side note - Tim and I have been debating all night on that last photo I posted of him. Tim thinks it looks like Basil has something in his teeth or hanging from his mouth and I swear it's just air and the back of his ear showing through his open mouth. He had been slightly panting during this photo.<br /><br />It's been bothering us all day - what do you think? haha17aparthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176955042705963326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-78168228976719968162011-08-25T21:43:04.088-04:002011-08-25T21:43:04.088-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mary Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748997504091929071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557891584261110923.post-16450123185537302052011-08-25T20:29:30.132-04:002011-08-25T20:29:30.132-04:00Basil! You look so good in your new gear! Thank yo...Basil! You look so good in your new gear! Thank you very much for your kind words and I am happy to hear that you guys love it :) <br /><br />Sometimes I think the same thing about me being home with Buddy all day. Because he is so used to it, feels like it hurts him more when Emre and I leave the house together. But just like you guys we make sure to take a long walk in the morning and another later in the day if I can wrap things up on time. Our trainer always says "A tired dog is a happy dog" <br /><br />Hoping to hear more good news in the future regarding Basil's anxiety. And we're also sending him hugs and wet nose kisses :)Hande & Buddyhttp://www.silly-buddy.comnoreply@blogger.com
