NY Times article on obsessive-compulsiveness in dogs

Today's NY Times has an article about obsessive-compulsive behavior in dogs, and it sounds a lot like what's going on with Baxter, right down to boredom and stress being a trigger, onset between 1-4 years of age, and having its origin in a traumatic event. The article is available at: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/19/science/19dogs.html?sudsredirect=true.

  1. Baxter ... My baby is dying ... Maybe you are the dog God is sending me. - am praying for the right one - and I feel love for you. I will pray for a good home for you - and if God wills in a few months - maybe you will be mine!
