Day five
Dosed her with Xanax and put her in the car. No shaking but she was panting, lots of yawning, and lip licking. Drove to the park asking her to lay down at every stop light. The wind was making evening cold and miserable so we only jogged about half a mile. But we jogged most of it.
After that we hung out in the van before driving home. Rainy got done ear rubs and seemed relaxed. On the drive home she refused to lay down when asked so I pulled off into the shoulder, climbed into the back and made it happen! After that she was more inclined to listen. She still needs a physical que to lay down while we are driving but if we are parked and I'm in the back she will respond to a verbal one.
We are back at home now and I'm making her lay peacefully in the back while I type this no panting but some lip licking is going on. I think maybe tomorrow I'll go for a walk/jog around the neighborhood and see if she will eat her dinner in the van.
Not as great a day as yesterday but not much of a back slide :-)
