My girl turned 3 today and my kids wanted to dress her up, so we did. She very unexpectedly loved it: 

 

And this old man has had cancer for 3 years now, and recently gave us a scare that made us think he was ready to go. Then the day I had a vet scheduled to come and put him to sleep he was back up on his feet and running around like nothing had ever been wrong with him. This jackass

Believe it or not, he's a rescue and his name is Ryker. He was in the shelter for 4 months and they picked him up when he was about 8 months old. Super friendly, though it does seem like he's got separation anxiety so that's something we'll have to work on! I tried to go to the store today after picking him up and he went nuts

Hopefully some of that will subside once he's had a few weeks to adjust to a new home and routine.

 

But also, it is super normal for an 8-month-old (unless I read that wrong and he's a year old?) to experience separation anxiety. He's still a baby and all his little instincts are yelling that he's vulnerable when separated from his pack. My Redbone could barely stand to be in another room at that age, and nowadays she's completely relaxed if I leave the house for a couple hours. 

 

This is a great time to start crate training if you plan to do that at all!

I actually did order a 42" crate for him (he's about a 15-17lb dog) and plan to use it to help train him out of the separation anxiety and probably use it when I take short trips to run errands etc. And yes, he's about a year old. I'm calling his birthday May 4th  so it can be kind of a meme on Star Trek's Ryker vs may the 4th be with you kind of silliness lol.
