Karma has developed a new “strange” behavior. We feed her dinner around 6 or 7 depending on what’s on our schedule. Then she gets her last trip outside and is ready for the night. Normally, she would soon fall asleep in her crate, in the middle of the living room floor or even go back and claim space on our bed. Sometimes she’d get up and pick a new spot to fall back asleep. A couple of months ago, Karma started demanding that we go to bed with her. She’d stand in the bathroom hallway and bark “come on it’s time to sleep”. We’d tell her, “Go ahead, you can go to bed”. It’s like a 3-4 year old child’s laments at bedtime: “I want some water”,”I have to go to the bathroom”, “Something’s under my bed”. If we go back and lay with her for a few minutes, she’ll settle down and go to sleep for the night but she wants that extra attention. A dog for gosh sakes!!!! Of course we both do it – what can we say we’re suckers for her charms.
