She is laying at my feet as I type this...

Maybe she'll be at your feet for years to come.
I have used a form of Rescue Remedy on our young golden when he had to be transported. It was recommended by our vet. There were different ways to administer it. One type was affixed to his crate during transport, and then, because we were leaving a country setting to live in the middle of a big city, he wore a collar of it around his neck at all times. They last a month. It issued some kind of pheromone that was calming. It was called DAP but I see is now called Adaptil.
I think it worked. He's such a laid-back dog to begin with, it was hard to tell. But at the time he was only two, so a little more rambunctious.
