went away,been back a week,dog went to a retired postman who mothered her,she returned a "madam" and all spoilt!
however he never let her off the lead so ive won back her love with long long off the lead walks.
shes still being picky re eating(she returned overweight so i think he fed her treats)im persisting with the normal food routine and shes bouncy so i dont think shes starvation point,also back to a decent weight.
BUT she keeps wetting the kitchen and she NEVER did
is this going to end?she is 2 1/2 and i thought i was over the puppy training years ago.

Hi, sunshine!
Glad you're reunited with your dog-buddy! With my own pooches, I've noticed that a change in food can easily mean a change in behaviour, and, as they adjust to that new food or routine, the behaviour improves, too.
Remember that, in a dog's mind, you were gone for a very long time. She loves you and she's super happy to see you, but she may still be suffering some lingering effects of separation anxiety. Try to be gentle and understanding with her, give her lots of extra one on one time, and try to get her outside for her business a bit more often than you're used to.
Here's hoping she gets back to normal super fast!
Hugs and butterflies,
~T~The butterflies are within you.

I agree with LBTC about the separation anxiety...
My dog was like that.. but I personally think she got mad and wanted revenge for leaving her.. cuz she'd only do it at certain times. Prob in her mind I deserved it

Rogue dog gave great advice, I guess it takes one to know one.

Your dog is a bit confused, she lived somewhere else last week where all the cues were different. Treat her like a pup (housetraining) until you guys are in sync again.

If she's lost some bladder control, you might want to take her to the vet -in case she has a urinary infection or something!

What Lisa said - she may have a minor infection, so she piddles.
