we have a dog and a cat.

Here's our dog Chloe. She's a rescue from Arkansas that we've had for since she was 6 months.

She's been a great dog, very protective of the family and loves to cuddle (maybe too much for an 80# dog)

She's had a tough few months.
our kids went off to college
we sold our house
had a home fire while it was under contract (realtors and then contractors in the house for 2 months)
Drove cross country with me, stayed in different hotels every night while I drove her and then while we were waiting to close on our new home
Settled into the new home

NOW, when you leave her alone she pee's in the house. Vet says it likely separation anxiety and the last few months have been too much for her

So even to go out for a hair cut, I have to block areas of the house, and then expect to clean pee off the LVT floor (I was never a big fan of LVT, but for a home with a leaker... it's the best option
