Just back from holiday in Lindisfarne with the best group of people ever to give Kato her confidence back in the human race. And Kato didn’t keep the whole house up by grizzling at being in a strange place and expected to sleep away from the humans. She wimpered a little on the first night but by the second night she just settled into her basket

When Spaniels Attack could be another Channel 5 show. I'm liking the doglets response.

I had some more thoughts on the object constancy thing. I don't know whether it would help, or not, but you could try giving Kato one thing (a toy of some sort is good) that she can always have with her, or always have in the same place. Particularly when she goes to sleep, so that it's there when she wakes up. It might help her develop that sense of permanence.

Doglets are lovely, and were a pleasure to be on hols with.

We were thinking about what you said - and the fact that in Kato's world - Kato never see's Abe and Java in the same room or space ever,due to Abe&Java's agression issues with each other,this probably doesn't help.

Yes, we will try giving her a special toy, just need to find one that the other doglets won't steal away from her. She usually sleeps under our bed - we will try her with a de-squeaked fluffy mallard or something. Java and Lindsay aren't that fussed over toys but Little Abe will steal anything that she perceives as high value.

Doglets want to be on holiday again - now - walking the dull, concreted streets of wolverhampton just isn't the same as running free on a beach.
