We have a 5yr old retriever/pointer cross. She's very good, well trained etc.
But her day consists of waiting to be fed and then waiting to be walked. Once she's walked, she has no interest in anything until dinner and doesn't generally get off her bed. If I'm gardening, wandering around the house or whatever, she won't join me, she'll just lay on her bed looking quite grumpy. It can be a lovely sunny day, but she'll be inside, in the dark, on her bed. Even if I bring a bed into the garden, she still won't join me as she knows we're not going for a walk.
Which means if she's walked very early, she just spends multiple hours alone on her bed.
Is this normal?
