Hi All, just to say really that my little dog is exactly one year, so maybe no longer a puppy..I'm just a bit surprised that he absolutely hates getting up in the morning and has generally become so quiet I actually took him to the vet as I thought he might be unwell.
He is a very little Jack Russell, just 4.5kg and super sweet natured, he loves all dogs and people, treats any visitors like his long lost best friend. But...he absolutely hates mornings, he has a little bed in our bedroom and although he loves to be with us it's like trying to get a teenager out of bed! Sometimes not even clanging his breakfast dishes about will tempt him and he just lately decided he doesn't need breakfast so that won't really work going forward.
Is this normal/ usual? My last Jack was up with the birds and ready to go at a moments notice, this little guy would rather take it slow the whole morning..? He also puts himself to bed at 8.30pm some nights, we suddenly realise he is missing and find him upstairs asleep in his bed and that's it until morning. Does anyone else have a dog like this?
