Hi,
During the day she seems fine, she runs about plays, picks up everything she shouldn't. She does sleep alot during the day and early evening. The only thing she seems to do during the day is cry if shes in a different room, at something she wants but can't reach.( like toliet rolls or if she thinks there is food anywhere she will sit barking and crying at it) This I assume if normal behaviour for a greedy dog. sometimes she does seem very clingly during the day, and wants to sit near me or on me. I give her some cuddles and attention, but also make sure i ignore her when she gets like it as well, she doesn't always expect to do whatever she wants. She is very destructive with her own toys but again at 81 /2 months I would expect this as well. I haven't changed her routine as far as walks or food are concerned. She still humps my arm as much as she can, and runs around the house like whirlwind at least 4 times a day. Looking back she has been more clingly and trys to jump on me all the time, and paw me. I have found myself telling her No more often, and she looks put out and hurt, but I am not going to fall for the 'cocker blackmail look'.. I keep saying no, and moving her away then she edges her way back over to me gently until shes curled up next to me with her head resting on my leg and looking at me hurt. Shes even tried climbing over the back of the sofa, thinking won't notice her approach, and put her head on my shoulders, whilst trying to make eye contact. The min i make contact with her she jumps on my face both front legs over my shoulders, and gets me in this head lock, and starts to bite me nose and lick my face. I can deal with all this (if its normal) just not the night time behaviour. I just pull her off don't say anything until shes playing on her own with toys, then i make a fuss of her.
I can't help think shes either getitng used to having the run of house and doesn't like being in the kitchen at night now, or shes coming into season.
She does seem to have started licking me all the time.
I donot really want her in the bedroom at night.. but would occasionally, but this wouldn't be fair on her and Alan will not have her in the bedroom when he stays as she jumps on his face and barks in his ear...
(must be his moustach)
I haven't been feeling great myself for the last few weeks, but have been ill before and am still ill during the day, so not sure about a connection with that.
There have been the odd fireworks going off at night time, and i was nervious about it, but each time i loked at her, she was sleep, and only lifted her head once and went back to sleep again while they were still going off. Again this is something thats been going on for longer than the week.
