Hello @alexbb9700
Hes a rescue dog & suffers from severe separation anxiety.
A bit about his background:
Before I became his rescue mom, Mugsy ( his name ) lived 24/7 outdoors as a junk yard dog. Never allowed in the house. Lived his life through rain, snow, sleet, hail, freezing temperatures to hot summer humidity & heat. I live in a state with all seasons, where the weather changes quite often. Mugsy lived this way for many years ( along with 5 other dogs) until his owner was murdered. Unfortunately we believe Mugsy witnessed his owners murder ( whom was tragically murdered with an axe ) and suffers from ptsd. He also suffers from fear of water. Literally. He is afraid of the lake, sprinklers, rain ,etc...I assume his fear stems from being outside in wicked rain storms. :(
Unfortunately, anytime I leave the house and accidentally forget to close the window; Mugsy goes through the screen to "look" for me. After forgetting to close the windows & replacing the screens a few times; I am doing a much better job to remember to close them nowadays.
Mugsy now spends his life indoors, has his own food & water ( he has gained over 40 pounds since he found his way to me ) and even has his own couch to sleep on, although he rather snuggle up with me. He truly is a sweet gentle boy, he's had a rough life in the beginning but now I'm doing what I can to make his life the best ♥️
@kellybellz you have a very kind heart and Mugsy is so lucky to have you. I knew a lot of dogs suffering PTSD from dog fighting too. No dogs or cats are aggressive naturally I believe. Their bad behaviour are affected by their owners or previous abusers!
Thank you so much! I 100% agree that the way an animal is treated affects them, the same way as a child. They need love and affection. If they do not have these, it affects them dearly. Thank you so much for the compliment however I feel like I'm the lucky one to have this sweet boy in my life ♥️
how could your dog climb up to the roof? I thought only Huskies do their crazy surprise but your dog does too 😂
