I love this topic. I adopted a Great Dane and a Rottweiler mix about 5 years ago. The Dane had been in a puppy mill making babies as fast as she could put them out. She is a wonderful dog but suffered from separation anxiety every time I left the house. She chose pillows too. I lost 4 fiberfill bed pillows over time because I forgot to close a bedroom door. She is nearly 9 now and still thinks she is a puppy. The Rottie mix had to have $5000 worth of ACL surgery last Thanksgiving from their ramming around the back yard.
