My dog is growing up - he is 18 months old now. We've had 6 months of upheaval (divorce, house sale, living with my parents, new house). We are now settled in the new place and I've noticed he has really mellowed.
His routine is:
7am - Everyone gets up including dog
7 - 8:15am - Breakfast and dressing. He begs, mooches and follows us around!
8:15 - 9am - WALK (his best bit)
9 am - 12:30 - He snoozes and occasionally shouts out the window at postmen / passers-by. I work from home so I am here but he does his own stuff in the next door room.
12:30 - 13:00 - I eat lunch and he snuggles up next to me and steals bits and has a stroke
13:00 - 16:00 - He mostly snoozes but at 3pm he comes and tries to convince me it is walk time. My DD is delivered home from school and he jumps all over her and behaves like a prat.
16:00 - 17:00 - WALK
17:00 - 19:00 - I make tea and play with dog and kid. It is a bit of family time. We eat tea. We generally hang out.
19:00 - Kid goes to bed and dog generally joins her.
Is it normal for him to loaf quite so much. I am not complaining - loafing is good! On the weekend we are far more active and he tends to come along with most of what we do. He sleeps a lot less on those days.
