Chap has a little worry bed…..
Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and wondering what a worry bed is lovers……
Well, let me try to explain what a worry bed is. Back when I was watching my sister’s dogs, Enzo and Romeo, I moved the sun room bed to the front window so Romeo could have his bed in the sun room. I kept meaning to move it back, but I noticed that every time I left, Chaps would be in it when I got back. He crawls in it when I am getting ready and he appears not to move the entire time I am gone.
Normally when I left the house Grandpa would come and sit with him and Emma. No worries!
Over the course of the last several months this bed has been the source of a lot of worry. Every time I pull up and I can see the Mayor looking out of the window.
I wish I could ease his worried mind. Poor thing is getting a bit worse.
I am not looking forward to the thunder storm season.
More hoping that I can ease the Mayor’s worried mind later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
P.S. I have to be gone for a few hours……warm up the worry bed!

Obviously, this is place where Chaps feels very secure and he can still keep a watchful eye on things. This is a comfortable place for him so I think he feels less worried in this spot.
If you can see him looking out the window when you pull up then he can see you pulling up. I think he knows your going some place and that’s his way of telling you that he’s going to sit right here and wait until you get back. And I’m sure Grandpa not being there is going to be a huge adjustment. Poor Chaps. I’d leave the bed there. He sure doesn’t need anything more to worry about.
I’m sure french fries upon your every return would make him worry less.
I agree with Debra, more fries or tots. He most likely does feel more secure there for he sees you come and go. Give the handsome fellow hugs for us:)
Chaps is not doing well with missing Grandpa. I am having a real time with himz. I cannot move without him being right by my side. He is also crying a fair amount.
Every time I open my door he pushes past me to run upstairs. I know he is looking for GP.
When he come back down stairs he vomits.
I am really worried about him.
Mommy…..
PS
fries do help a bit.
This must be so difficult for everyone and we all know that Emma and Chaps are soooooo sensitive. It will take some time.
This is a big adjustment and change of routine for everybody. It’s just so hard because Chaps doesn’t understand. Sometimes you wish that there was a way that you could express what’s going on and that it will be ok. That’s the most frustrating and heartbreaking thing when a loved one passes on that was a major part of a hounds life. Time will heal our mayor. In the meantime, we just have to love him and let him know everything is ok. Poor Chaps.
Our dogs are very aware that things are not the same. You will just have to give both of them special love and attention. They grieve as we do. Extra love will give you all some peace of mind.
