| commented answer | Behavior changes after sitting Thanks Laura. I was so concerned with his well being while we were on vacation. Just need to give him time to settle back into our old routine. Just happy to hear that this is a normal reaction, and nothing I could have done differently that would have prevented this stand offish attitude I'm getting from him. |

| asked a question | Behavior changes after sitting WE recently used http://Rover.com for the first time for our Baxter with a wonderful sitter in her home. We met with her twice and felt Baxter would be comfortable in that surrounding while we were away on vacation for 6 1/2 days. Baxter is a rescue and for the 2 yrs we have had him we have always included him in all our get aways, but this vacation was going to involve flying cross country and felt it best to leave Baxter with a sitter (rather that a Kennel) Our sitter sent us updates once or twice a day with pictures and we were very happy to know he was doing well. Now my question/concern: when we returned he was happy to see us and he seemed just like he always was, very upbeat and happy. But as soon as we arrived back at our home his whole de-miner changed...he came right into the house and directly under our bed (which is where he likes to sleep). The problem was no amount of coaxing or bribing would bring him out and when he finally did come out his attention was only for my husband and when I would try to approach him for some lovin he would run straight back under the bed. He absolutely wants nothing to do with me, and when I do manage to wrangle him up in my lap to love on him he just trembles and can't wait to get down and back under the bed. Is this type of behaviour normal? What can I do to assure it won't happen again if and when we go away without him again. I miss my goofy little man and all our snuggle time. |
