The "dog-screeches-the-house-down-when-left-alone" starter kit

Forest seems to have pretty inconsistent separation anxiety, and he's not growing out of it, so I'm trying to solve it the way I solve most of life's problems: by daisy-chaining technology.

I'm plugging my webcam into my iPad via a dongle so I can keep the iPad charged. I'm then connecting my Beats Pill because it's nice and boomy and he should be able to hear me over his howling.

Once that little Frankenstein is connected, I open a FaceTime link that I can also join from my phone. I then pop an Airpod in and go out for a walk around the village, talking to my dog over Facetime whenever he starts barking. I probably look pretty normal doing this, but I can't have this dog going apeshit every time we leave the house.

Who knows if this is actually going to work long term, but at least it's simple and easy to set up.

Yep, two photos of screens in two days. Sometimes it just goes like that.
