we have been studying

We have been studying self-mutilation in dogs. It even has a medical name, Acral Mutilation Syndrome, or idiopathic self-mutilation.

Why oh why did I tie myself to this problem? Much as I love Zacchi I didn't want a dog, I wanted to be free to travel. So much for all the promises to take care of him... this little monster needs to stay at home!

A lot of the advice I have found sounds sooooo familiar... back to being a Resource Teacher, Learning and Behaviour, again!

Zacchi says the place he is less stressed is lying on the cool floor behind the computer chair, because then he is quite confident Mum isn't going far.

More emails, anyone?
