[QUOTE=lm9012;654633]and I am sure the dogs were just fine last night (their first with us) in their warm comfortable house that we brought from their original home for continuity.

This quote is equally what disturbs me. I know that when I travel for work and I am in another country, I don't sleep that well....and I have the capacity of 'reason'. These poor dogs have no understanding of what is happening to them. I don't understand why people would assume that the dogs are just fine when we as humans have trouble adjusting to new surroundings, environments, CULTURES, etc. The subject heading of this thread is about 'anxiety'. Why is she permitted to have anxiety and not understand why, and the dogs are suppose to adapt 'quickly' to being outside, in an unfamiliar environment, with people they don't know.....come on! Why would someone expect more from the dogs then they would a human being that understands and has the capacity to reason within themselves.
