moving anxiety
My husband and I are moving from Louisiana to Wyoming on the 24th and I think Mya is having some anxiety issues related to the move. Since it takes so long for movers to get our stuff out there (about two weeks!) We had them come early and pack our stuff up. We have nothing other than the kennels and beds for the dogs, an air mattress for us, a few dog toys, and our clothes for the next week. Mya was fine for the first 2 days, but I think she is starting to have some anxiety now.
I came home from work yesterday and she had diarrhea all over the kennel and herself. I told her it was just an accident because she looked so ashamed and then I bathed her and cleaned up the mess. She seemed fine afterwards, though she was not her normal hyper self during the bath. We played and did our normal routine with all the dogs and the cat before bed time. She cried in her kennel a little last night, but went to sleep pretty quickly.
This morning, my husband woke up and went to feed the ladies. He discovered Mya had been sick again in her kennel, though not as bad as yesterday. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Mya has been rehomed a few times, but I have had her for almost 3 years now. We have also kept all the dogs on their normal schedules to try to prevent anxiety. I don't want her to be scared, and I especially don't want her to lay in her mess all night. Is there anything I can do to help her?

She'll be ok, she just need to know for sure that you're there for her.
Since we have been here, we have had the best surprise ever... Mya has been going potty outside!!! Those of you who have seen some of my other posts know that she has never gone potty outside and has been paper trained for the past two years. This is an amazing feat for her and we could not be any more excited. Her anxiety seems to have been lifted answer are very proud of her for doing this with no prodding or help, just her usual walks.
Shelby, Sophie, and Jefferson are doing very well with everything too, and I'm glad we made the leap and moved up here.
