We were the recipients of a beautiful one year old cocker. The reason she was given to us was that she had anxiety issues and would howl constantly when left alone. I thought she would grow out of this but it never happened. She lived to be 13 and was a great pet in all other ways.
When we began camping with her she could not be left alone in the rv. Neighbors, camp hosts and rangers would leave ultimatums. We tried some sedative that the vet gave us and neighbors said she was quiet but she had diarrhea that almost made us give up camping. Finally had to leave her at home of make sure she was always with us, wherever we went.
After this experience, we finally lost her to cancer several years ago. We love dogs and often enjoy having a camping neighbor with a good natured, loving pet, but have been reluctant to commit to another dog since.
