I am sorry to hear that, and hope your health probems improve in the future, and any treatments you receive really do the job for you.
Under the circumstances, think the best thing is to accept her ways. But if possible at all, try to keep the usual "doggy routines" going because that will help to give her a sense of stability.
Bless her, she is keeping a watch, isn't she? They know, when something is upsetting us, or we are not feeling well. If she seems OK with this -not stressed or unbalanced in any way, I would allow her these ways.
Although because of your own health problems it might not be possible to do very much, whenever you CAN get out with her, do so, because it will help to widen her horizons. She will get the chance to meet other people and dogs.
If you have a friend (?) who can come round sometimes, play with her, maybe take her for a walk? That might help too.
I am sorry you're unwell, and really do wish you all the best for the future.
Hi!
Thanks for your reply! I think my dog is like this because she has had so many health issues and is sensitive much like we humans are when we are facing diversity! I am not well myself and I think my dog picks up on that and wants to be by side continuously! I ahve triple negative breast cancer and MS.
Part of our problem I feel is because since so many people died that we knew, it's now just the two of us. I make sure that most days I take her somewhere she will meet others -human and canine. And she does seem to appreciate that. Just to give her another focus apart from me.
I don't think there's an awful lot I can say to help you. I'm hoping someone else may respond to your post with some ideas
