We moved house 2 months ago and our Staff took a while to settle, didn't like me leaving her and had to follow me around, after a couple weeks she settled down and was back to her normal lazzy self (spending most of the day asleep).
Yesterday when i got back from the school run i took her for a long walk (this was her first long walk since we moved as i wasn't sure where i could take her/footpaths), she enjoyed her walk but when we got back became just like she was when we moved (pacing and whinning). I shut her in the sitting room when i went to pick the dd's up (like i do everyday). When i got home she had bashed the stair gate down using her face and broke the stairgate, she damaged her face, was bleeding and her face was swallen . Luckily it wasn't bad enough for a trip to the vets.
She loves company, i am at home a lot but obviously i cant be at home all the time, she doesn't travel well in the car so i cant take her on the school run with me.
This is the first time she has done anything like this appart from a bit of chewing when she was a pup. Do you think its just due to being left and getting lonley?
Would getting another dog help? Is it ok to have 2 staff's (lily is a great dog and great with the dd's but would having another change this?).
