ON THE BACK BURNER

I am still house bound without a car. I have dog food and eggs, so Dixie and I are fine.  I am counting on my car being ready tomorrow and I can make a grocery run . I tried signing on for delivery at Walmart, but it became too confusing and I cancelled. During the worse of Covid , I shopped on line, picking up my groceries at a designated spot in the parking lot. I remember it being pretty easy to sign on. I don't know why this delivery system is such a challenge. I wanted the delivery to make it easier for Dixie. Her anxiety kicks in when I leave her alone, and although she is slightly better, this place is a maze for her and she finds herself in a closet , facing the wall,or under the dining room table, with a lot of obstacles. When I am ready to leave her alone, I will close her in the kitchen. It's small and has only one opening, which I will block. She'll still cry , howl and moan, but she won't hurt herself. I have never heard of a dog with such separation anxieties. I never second thought about leaving any of our dogs alone. I would just walk out of the door with a reminder to them that they were in charge and just take a message.
