Sometimes, I feel as if maybe Snoops and I spend just a wee bit too much time together. I love being with him, but sometimes I feel as if we probably both need some "alone" time... for the sake of both of us and our sanity.
The past few days we have spent ALOT of time together. I think we are both getting a bit testy. The past 2 or 3 nights he has been especially bark-y. Barking from 10pm onwards til I tuck him into bed. I have no clue what he is barking at... but it is non stop. Then he will go kinda haywire and run like crazy round the house. Then testing me by biting on certain things he knows he shouldn't. This behavior has been causing me a bit of frustration. I haven't lost it with him, but my patience has certainly been thin a few times. He walks at least 3x daily round the block, runs a whole bunch.. we play non stop.
Whereas I used to feel guilty about leaving him on his own, I think I may start taking him to half day daycare once per week. This will give him a chance to play with other dogs and socialize.. and it will give me a chance to do as I please, uninterrupted. It will probably be a good way for us both to work off some energy...
Any of you ever find yourself in a similar situation?
