I am 100% sure it's linked to your OH not being around again.
Ollie has his weird little ways during the week, his master is away two nights most weeks, and he knows he is going, the garment bag on the bed the night before and he blonks himself in the hall watching everymove then when bag moves Ollie moves to follow said bag to the car.
Next morning it's back in the hall routine and following Dad to car - till finally it's the little dance for the hug and good bye biscuit time....then he is 100% in charge of me and wow is he my security guard
It's on the bed and curl up so I can't make the bed routine. Then it's the follow Mum everywhere routine and I mean everywhere.
He continues to time manage my whole days, meals walks MIL for coffee etc.
Tomorrow will be manic every car noise he will bark at till finally he hears the car door bang, he is fast asleep on the bed as I type, but 45mins ago he heard those words he truly understands
Ollie sausage tomorrow theres a good boy !!
Yep he brings him a sausage everytime he comes home - I wonder if these hotel see him wrapping a sausage up at breakfast.
Then peace prevails In Ollietown till next week and it starts again.
