I haven't had her for long. I found her on Petfinder. Molly is a 6 year old standard Goldendoodle with wavy cream fur. All I know from the rescue is that she was with one family her entire life before they had to give her up. She's house trained, loves walks and is very well behaved. Her only sticking issue is her separation anxiety which means I can't leave her at home to go to work. She barks and howls for hours, waking up neighbors at 6am
. I've already been informed by management of a complaint 
Betting it's the same 
person who complains when I do laundry on weekends and takes up a guest parking spot instead of their own assigned spot. I either take Molly to work with me or take her down the street to daycare. She's getting better, though. She lets me go to the grocery store now without 
as soon as I leave. I have a calming thing that attaches to her collar and calming chews too. @Tim & Pookey if you noticed a bump in FDMB donations from Chewy recently, you can thank Molly for that 
She already has minor health issues
She has hot spots on her elbows and hocks and a yeast infection in her ears. I pointed the hot spots out to the vet and said I was worried that them becoming the same issue Leroy had
The vet said he had never met a cat like Leroy before 
Leroy was one of a kind and special 
Molly has a recheck of her ears and hot spots next week and I think she might have picked up kennel cough from daycare.
What does civvie think of her new roommate?

No issues at all between the two
Leroy would have never accepted a dog roommate. He barely tolerated magic dog.
Civvie's kidney values are a little worse now. I posted on FKMB. No treatment needed right now.
Rats don't care about the dog. Molly is super interested in the rats (and squirrels and rabbits) She's tall enough to just poke her nose into the top half of the cage if the door is open. I have to be super careful when handling the rats.
Is there a Catinfo.org equivalent for dogs? I'm feeding Molly the same dry food as the rescue to avoid tummy issues from stress, Taste of the Wild. I haven't given any canned food yet but plan to include some. I can't do canned exclusively. A single 12 oz can is one meal for Molly
I would like to do a raw diet but I can't afford it. There's only so much food in a commercial bag and Molly would need like 8 patties per meal Magic dog ate Farmer's Dog, a subscription cooked food. That's also out of my budget. Vet has no opinion since he knows I'll feed what's best.
Any good dog forums out there? I joined one but quickly left. It was cliquey and I didn't get much advice or help. At least one person insinuated that I shouldn't have a dog if I didn't know anything about owning one. And someone somehow found out what state I live in (I have no info on my profile or account on location) and sent a creepy PM. I found better advice on Reddit but I'm not a fan of how Reddit works.

. So glad Emma is getting along with Molly. Hopefully once Molly settles in and realizes that you’re not going anywhere and that you’ll always come back to her, she’ll start calming down.
I'll ask my dog expert friend if there are any forums she recommends.
. I had to leave her in the bigger office in order to go do work elsewhere. My office is too small and doesn't have a full glass door like the other one does. She gets upset when I leave her but settles down once people start showing up. I'm going to bring her next week just in case she does have kennel cough (contagious to other dogs in daycare) but put her in the lab support guy's office which is tucked away in a corner of his area. I'm afraid of Tiger Mom saying something 
once she has dinner. I haven't taken her to the dog park in awhile since she's exhausted.
