Oh, dear! Have you tried putting in a blanket or rag with your scent on it? I've also heard that an old alarm clock (the kind that ticks) is a calming sound. When my first boxer had separation anxiety my vet recommended clomicalm. It's just for training them that alone is not a horrid thing-- it's not a lifelong thing. Eventually my girl stopped shrieking in her crate, and I really think it came with time. I so totally know what you are going through! Fingers crossed for a quieter greeting and a decent night's sleep!
