cimorene(She's full grown now, but barely.) We've played with her several times before, but she hasn't been left alone with us. In fact, I'm not sure she's ever been separated from her family. She's a sweet little dog, but she's very very anxious about it. Not too anxious to play at all:
She went from this to this via going out in the rain which was so exciting that she played tag with us for a good fifteen minutes, taking frequent pauses to roll around on the ground like a horse in mud:
...but she won't play inside, or even chase her toys. The only thing that can distract her inside is treats. Other than that she's staring at or scratching on the door. She seems to believe this is hostile territory and the only thing she will do with food is dump it out of the bowl and push it into the corner in an attempt to cover it. The anxious pacing, whimpering and moaning is going to drive me absolutely nuts if it keeps up all week. I'm already going wobbly and tearful and it hasn't even been twelve hours.
