[DFW here I come.....]

My name is Finbar, and my dad and I are relocating to the DFW area in late April.  Any groups out there that get their Grey's together to socialize and run around a bit.  Looking to make some friends.  I'm 6 and just me and my dad

[Potty issues when isolated]

My grey has been with me for three years (he's six years old).  He never goes in the house when I'm around or anyone else is sitting him.  However, in the last year when left alone he'll leave something for me when I get home (both #1 and #2).  I make sure to take him out regularly which he's good about his schedule.  I even make sure to take him out right before I leave.  Sometimes I won't even be gone an hour and he JUST went heavily outside, but to no avail he'll go.  I think this may be some sort of anxiety issue.  With the height of COVID this didn't seem to be such an issue, but now with things getting back to normal he is alone more and more.  He HAS NEVER been in a crate, because when I initially tried a crate when I first got him he would chew the wire and hurt himself trying to get out....

 

Any help, thoughts or directions is much appreciated....  

[Firm up the stool]

My GH continues to have loose stools.  Canned pumpkin makes him sick, and doesn't seem to work.  Any other suggestions on what to mix with his kibble to help?
