    You said in the opening post she has always been like this. That's why I said what I did. What attempts have you made to deal with the separation anxiety rather than just manage it? It's not been dealt with. If it had been she wouldn't be suffering now and you wouldn't be housebound.

    You've been given lots of good advice and suggestions.

    Hopefully you'll take some of them on board.

    You do not sound harsh, just incredibly assuming in your post above and frankly very nosy fishing for information which I did not provide.
    I am not going to reply to any of the above as it goes way too deep into my personal life which is none of your business.

    Sorry if you have read it like that. I did not expect you to answer the questions publicly, like you say your personal life is yours and how much of it you divulge is up to you. It was more a case of suggestions for you to think about other options/ways around this for you to answer to yourself.

    You have my sympathy you sound in a difficult situation but something has to be done as I said if a min wage job come ups you will be expected to take it regardless of how this will effect your dog. What will you do if the JC send you next month on a full time work placement with no extra money, you will have to go and then will happens with the dog? (again no need to answer that on here).

    Good Luck I hope you manage to sort something out/resolve the issue.

    And what has a Job Centre got to do with me? Oh I see, you are assuming again...

    Because I thought I read that you only went out to the shops and the JC. Apparently not, I misunderstood/misread.

    I apologise if I have upset you, it wasn't my intention.
