I wish I understood Max

Every night he wants up on the couch with us, he wants down, he wants up, he wants down, rinse and repeat and sometimes there is only 1 minute between the change.  It drives us batty.

Tonight we tried to ignore him completely, it didn't help. I just don't know WHY. 

Vet doesn't think its early dementia since she knows I'm on the look out after Tillie.  Could just be burpy belly from EPI, but he doesn't seem to feel that way after breakfast.

Now that I'm sitting at the desk computer, he's gone to the bedroom.  FINALLY!

Re: I wish I understood Max

  • Wow, that is super annoying!  Makes you wish he had some huge legs so he could get up and down himself.  Or maybe get a set of stairs/ramp for him.
  • Clearly I think more about pet comfort than style.
  • Is it just for attention? Is he bored? I imagine it must be frustrating. 

    I can't help but envision my toddler in this scenario.

  • Hope it isn't dementia. I agree with Branny though, would a ramp help?

  • He has several ramps but not one onto the couch. We have an angled footstool that he can get up and down from on his own.

    I "think" he wants to go to bed and wants us to go with him.  If I were to put him in bed, I know he'd be good for a little while and when I'd hear a bark because he wants down.

  • Poor Maxie just doesn't know what he wants or wants you all to do. You could always sing with him.

    I could sing with him.  Lord knows the boy likes to sing with me. 

    He does get a little antsy the day after we give him his B12 shot.  That was yesterday. It just seems like he's this way all the time now.  Every single night. 
  • Ugh that is frustrating!
