I had posted a few months back about how Buck doesn't like hanging out with us on the second floor of my three story townhouse. I figured since my second floor (the main floor) has hardwood he doesnt like it. It was also during warmer months and it is cooler down in the first floor. Well I got more area rugs and such and he'd come up and hang out and stuff.
He also would bolt up to the third floor where the bedrooms are when it was time to go to bed. Take over my bed and everything.
In the last month or so he has begun going down stairs again when we aren't eating. He will be on the second floor with me when I am the only one home. If my bf is around he goes back downstairs. The bottom floor is where the front door is.
And in the last 2 weeks he has started going all the way downstairs and sleeping on the landign. He refuses to come upstairs to my room. I was able to coax him up there a couple times with cookies and then shut the door. He slept on the bed just fine. However, this week he wont come upstairs even for the cookies. My bf has to carry him up there. Once in the room he jumps into bed and goes to sleep. If he doesn't get carried up he just sleeps on the bottom floor near the front door.
I have no idea why his behaviour suddenly changed like this. It just breaks my heart. I feel like he doesn't like me anymore or something. Or maybe I did something wrong. Or maybe somethign is wrong with him and I can't figure out what to help him
He is eating and drinking fine. Pooping fine. He plays with me and my bf just fine. No signs of being afraid of us or anything (Not that he has any reason to be). He hasn't shown any change in behaviour at daycare.
I am just not understanding the change from being such a glued to my hips pup to he wants to be on his own unless there's some kind of food related activity going on. He just goes down there and snoozes in the dark by himself.
He just turned 4 years old january 1st.
I dont know what i am doing wrong or did wrong. Does he need more attention? or less attention? I don't know. Our daily routine consists of me coming home around 5-5:30pm and immediately dropping my bags and playing with him and then going on a mile walk. We come back and he gets fed and gets soem belly rubs. Around 6:45-7pm I start cooking our dinner and do stuff around the house. By 8:30-9pm I am winding down. Watching tv, sewing a little whatever. 10pm he goes out to pee and then it's bed time.
Before, he was there by my side through all this. Now he just wants to be on the first floor alone...except when I am eating dinner or open the fridge (crazy food hound)
He is due to see the vet in a couple weeks. HOpefully, he is OK health wise.
If anyone has any insight I would really appreciate it
