Otis doesn't get into things....

[Sara]

he gets UNDER them?! Under chairs, under tables, under beds, under RUGS?! Lol. I've never had a puppy do this before. It's fine...but scares me half to death because I check on him every 8-10 minutes when he's not gated and I LOSE him! He's brown and blends in too well with the furniture around here! Lol.

Does anyone else's Doodle like to be under things?

I've attached a pic I took about 15 minutes ago. I took it after I was looking everywhere in the den for him while I called his name! He just blended into the stupid coffee table and I didn't see him. My six year old son has started calling him "the ninja" because he says Otis is so sneaky. Lol.

On an iPad, so sorry for the link instead of inbedding it!

[Shoney & Ruby]

Oh Otis, he's so sweet. Ruby doesn't get under things where we can't find her--but we keep her in the dining room and kitchen where she can't hide under anything. I wonder why he does it?

[F, Calla & Luca]

It's safe and den like.

[Sara]

I honestly don't know?! He goes to my in-laws for doggy day care (we refer to it as The Grandparent's Home for Exceptional Canines, lol) and my father-in-law tells me he does the same thing at their house.

He's either part mole or just a weirdo. Lol.

PS: I LOVE the name Ruby! We were soooo close to naming our daughter Ruby!

[Wendy and Myla]

Myla doesn't hide like that but she does hide her head when she's sleeping - at night, she'll sleep with her head under our bed (the rest of her is on her dog bed) and when we're camping in our RV she has her head under the chair (which has flaps that reach the floor).  When she's on the couch with us, she has her head in our laps, but when we stop petting her, she puts her head under the throw pillow!  I love your picture of Otis - is he actually on the bottom shelf of the coffee table?

[Sara]

Lol! That's funny (and sounds really cute!). Myla--part ostrich?! ;)

Yes, he was on the bottom shelf. I called him and called him and even shook the treat container---nothing! He didn't even wake up. The little turd.

[Sara]

F, excellent point ! I never thought about it feeling "safe". I guess it's like swaddling a baby ! Lol.

I kinda wish I could swaddle Otis.....lol. But I won't! ;)

[Julie, Eloise & Beasley]

Otis is too cute.  He looks snug as a bug in a rug...or coffee table?!  :-)  My girls LOVED to be under things as puppies.  The favorite of both was under the ottoman near my feet.  Eloise would sleep under the couch, chairs, and her other favorite was under a bed.  Beasley found her hangout spot under the coffee table within the first few minutes of being home, lol.  I think she figured out that was a way to hide from the giant (full-grown) goldendoodle!  Mine were so light that they never blended in (but I did have to lift the bedskirt quite often to find Ellie, ha).  Now they're both too big to be under anything.

[Kaitee and Orwell]

When Orwell was small he liked to squeeze himself under the couch while I was laying on it. I think because he isn't allowed on the couch... once I move out that'll be a different story. He also would sometimes squeeze himself underneath the coffee table that is right by the couch. 

[Judy, Meg & Polly Wolly Doodle]

That is cute, I think with a bit of direction and training you may be able to never have to dust again.

[Diane and Alma]

That's so funny!  Orwell the Swiffer puppy : )

[Gracie, Jade, & Barkley]

Awe so sweet! Gracie climbs under the dining room chairs, but that's about it. We have a few end tables and so far I just tell her down - because we have books on the bottom portion.

[Diane and Alma]

Alma loves to crawl under our coffee table and she falls asleep there while we watch TV in our family room.  The table has a rattan bottom that is slightly elevated off the floor.  We think she likes it because it's cooler than the carpet or sofa. It fits her perfectly once she crawls onto it. 

My husband bought this table way before we were married.  It has to be at least 30 years old.  I think it's absolutely ugly!  It has fake, wood grain and a plastic, gold band.  We joke that we can't get rid of it because it's Alma's favorite place.  As much as I would love to get something to replace it, I just can't do it.
