Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| I've only had her like 10 months now, so I have no baseline to tell, but she seems really lazy.
We go on a walks for about 2 hours a day cumulatively. She's fine with those. Always runs when I do. Smells everything. Tries to kill every other animal. Very energetic.
But at home, she might wander about awake for like an hour or two, maybe look out the window or chew on one of her toys. But then the rest of the time she's basically a doormat or a pillow. Just sprawled out laying there for hours. Not necessarily sleeping, most of the time I look her eyes are open. I try to play games with her, but she literally does not like playing any game. She only likes to run and be chased. I give her plenty of attention throughout the day, but primarily it's her just lying there being a pillow while I pet her.
Is that normal? Like how active should she be during the day and for how long? |

| @Stray I don't think what you're seeing is that unusual. When you're out and about there are things to see and do ... so she does. But at home where it's the same thing she's gonna chill. Most of the time, you say, that her eyes are open - watching you - which is really about the norm, I think, with most dogs. Now, dogs are a lot like people, some of us set 'round all day 'cause "we have nothing to do" and others are always active because "setting there is a bore!" If a pup gets bored enough you'll know it. You'll be wondering where that shoe went (and then you find pieces of it); she'll be right under foot all the time until you get her out ... she has a lot of ways to let you know she's bored but depression as we think of it, nope. _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| If it was just out of the blue that she did that thrn maybe its depression but if she is always like that, its just her. Granted mine are old but spider spends most of the day and night in the bed. She runs in the yard a little throughout the day but mostly she just kinda chills out. Squirt is a wound up hyper dog regardless. But of my 4 3 mostly just chill at home but are crazy energetic out of the house.
When my dogs are depressed they arnt into anything inside or out. Splinter will stop barking.
As for playing, my boys play with me, spider rarely does but she mostly plays with herself or splintter. Squirt thinks fetch means chase the ball look at it, come back without the ball. |
