Thanks for the kudos; you wouldn't think Jenny was a sweet girl yesterday... grrrr...
Today, she's been an angel. Funny moody girl!

Daryl,
It's good that you've already started leaving Jenny behind to prevent
separation anxiety. And you have a good plan for increasing the time
she is left alone so she will not have anxiety the night of the
concert. Kudos to you for doing what's best for you and your sweet
girl.
