connect with others, to be appreciative of the light and the goodness around us. >> in terms of recentering yourself, dr. murthy has a few suggestions that include prayer, meditation, gratitude journals or, guys, just simply sitting outside and taking a few deep breaths for a few moments. >> i mean those are all great tips. we have just been talking about this. isolating is just completely against our social instincts as human beings. >> so many people wanting just to be able to connect with other people and feeling very alone right now. >> exactly. really good information. thank you, dan. we'll talk to you soon. we do want to turn now to how our pets are handling all the changes at home. when humans start going about their daily lives again, our dogs our going to be a little bit confused, and our dr. doolittle marciano, rob, is with his little gal out there with some tips. rob, good morning.

>> hey, good morning. good morning, whit. well, you know, many of us are home a lot, if not all the time and, well, that's good for the dogs, at least most of them get to go on a lot of walks. some are saying no more walks please, but it could cause a problem when we eventually start to go back to work and leave the house. here are tips, how to help your pup with separation anxiety. dog, man's best friend, and now you're always together. but one day hopefully soon that's going to change and these pups need a plan. >> suddenly the dogs don't get the email that it's back to work or whatever that new normal is. i'm concerned we're going to see a lot of separation anxiety. >> were you a naughty boy? >> reporter: but not all dogs react the same. so we looked at three different dogs and asked animal behavior consultant steve dale how we can help keep their anxiety in check. first up 8-year-old labrador retriever burt. he loves hanging out with his labrador sis lucy, but suffers from separation anxiety when his

owner leaves the house. steve suggests for dogs like burt, be proactive and use tools that we have at our disposal. >> pheromone products, probiotics, nutraceuticals products, and your dog may be able to wear something, a vest, that makes your dog feel more comfortable. >> reporter: next pup, rucker, a 1-year-old golden retriever who loves her human time, but also enjoys a little me time. for rucker it's important to look out for any developing signs of anxiety. >> so if you've left the house and the dog is howling or crying in your absence or you come home and you see your dog that you know is house trained has had accidents or your dog is literally digging at the door perhaps trying to escape, all of those are indications of separation anxiety. >> reporter: and last up, newly adopted 10-week-old bernedoodle stevie. good thing for young pups like stevie, they are quick learners. >> so for dogs that were recently adopted or are in foster, here's what you do.

go take a walk without the dog. if you can, set up a camera or leave treats out all over. if the dog gobbles up those treats, it's a good sign that the dog wasn't anxious. >> reporter: you know, a lot of people have been adopting dogs and dogs from shelters have a lot of separation anxiety. we got sonny several years ago from a shelter, and she had separation anxiety because of being passed around to foster homes so often and we spent time with her. now she's terrific. we can take her off the leash. she loves to play fetch. you want the stick? you do? go get it. good girl. we get to take her off leash a little bit. settle down. settle down. barking at the neighbor. you know, we got some work to do. nonetheless, rescue a pup. do a little work with him or her and you'll be glad you did. >> she did great. she did great. by the way, rob and eva, we are on the market for a new dog now. >> oh, good luck. >> it's happening. >> yes. you know what else is happening, mother's day, may 10th. that is next sunday and this is a really good time to get a

jump on things an our becky worley has more. what does mom want most right now? well, if she's separated from her family she just wants to spend time with her kids. if she's currently quarantining with small children, she just wants to spend time without her kids. both of those requests are impossible right now. so how about some gift ideas that at least show mom she's loved. flowers are possible. many national chains are offering mother's day discounts in the 15% range, but they can be tough to come by in some areas. so edible arrangements, that's fruit and yummy chocolate dipped strawberries, they're delivering. it's offering a 15% off deal too. for moms who just want to spend time with you, how about a gift certificate at her favorite local restaurant? many are offering 20% to 25% bonuses. so when you spend $100, you get a $125 gift certificate. that's a win-win. you're supporting a business in your community. now, for those moms who have small kids never have noise

canceling headphones sounded so ideal. bose selling their wireless quiet comfort headphones for $199, that's $100 off but you're buying from ebay. they're factory refurbished. like new and warranted. that's a good deal. let's talk generic discounts in case one is a fave for the mom on your list. anthropologie taking 30%, coach 30% off bags and wallets, kate spade also 30% off. le creuset, 20% off full priced cookware. listen i. dent want to flag but my advice though matter what the sites say about one-day shipping or same day delivery, just order everything right now. things are taking longer to get fulfilled. shipping can take longer. you won't regret being early this year, guys. >> thanks, becky. we will and right back. 20% off cookware.
