is Jolie bored?

Everyone should be so lucky!

It sounds to me like she is getting plenty of exercise when she’s out and about and then comes home to chill inside. It is ideal really.

Keep in mind that with dogs bored usually translates to something we humans think of as inappropriate behavior such as barking, chewing, pacing, begging for attention, etc. So she doesn’t seem bored to me.

As dogs mature this is generally how they act if they are exercised and confident/comfortable. On the other hand, she is new to you and your environment and still adapting. You may find that you are in the honeymoon period and that you haven’t seen her full personality yet. Sometimes dogs are super-calm in their new home at first, like polite house guests.

If you are worried about her being bored though, be sure to provide her with a few interactive chew toys and she’ll play with them if she is looking for something to do.

(she’s very cute, by the way!)

Hi. I again totally agree with tailspin and kelly you are very lucky to have a dog that just hangs out and is content in the house by herself. My dog Emmy drives me crazy she is always on the go every once in awhile I can get her to lay down and chew on a bone while I try to get a few things done in the house other than that she is following me around with a squeky toy or she is chasing my vacuum or she is trying to pull my bed spread off my bed if I ‘m changing my sheets and when I’m doing dishes she will sit at my feet and tug on my pant legs and bite my toes she has to have my attention all the time in the house when she is outside she is perfectly content chewing on sticks and leaves but unfortunately I can’t leave her outside without going out with her even thou my yard is fenced I worry about my neighbors stealing her. So be grateful it sounds like you have a great girl.

Thank you all for your advise and comments.. So im sitting here smiling in my office.. still Jolie seems happy and content, but ofcourse she is teasing my from time to time which is fine by me.. and she listens if I raise my voice when she is doing something she knows is wrong. Im just trying to figure out why in some eveings in the garden she starts to eat grass.. maybe she is just copying what the horses do hehe, but is it because her stomach is upset? I know cats do this whe they have a bad stomach.
