So my wife and I are due for our first child on December 12!
We bought Richo about 4 weeks before we knew about the baby, so he's never known my wife not-pregnant - but recently we've noticed a little more anxiety in him when we are returning from being away, or if one of us isn't home, or event simply having him outside while we're inside... it's like his 'pack' isn't complete.
And he is more clingy now, following us at our ankles, sitting/lying at the door instead of using his kennel etc.
Is this due to his sense of the pregnancy? (now that it is quite close and my wife is moving slower, tiring quicker etc.) Or is it due to the fact that he is now a 10 month old puppy and the extra clingyness/anxiety is a natural progression that just coincides?
Curious on any thoughts or your own experiences.
