Five-year-old dog, Daisy, loves cuddling with her parents and being the center of their attention. So, when she’s left at home alone and unable to cuddle, she gets upset and manifests it by going for the blinds.
Her mom says Daisy tends to cling and persist in asking for cuddles and attention. She’s also hyperactive and playful – as most puppies. One weekend, Daisy was left with a friend which she disliked so she attacked the friends’ blinds when she was out. Her parents had to replace them and, since then, decided to keep their blinds up before leaving.
They also purchased an electric mat positioned before their bedroom to prevent Daisy from going in unnecessarily. Although the mat was a training prop, and thus, not dangerous to dogs, Daisy abhorred it and begrudgingly destroyed many things in the house except the blinds which were already beyond her reach. Upon her dad’s arrival, Daisy pretended to be in bed unaware of the huge mess she created.
Daisy’s dad thought he was in the wrong apartment because of the chaos in it.
“I opened the door, immediately stopped, backed away slowly, and shut the door,” Daisy’s dad, Steven Daniels, recounted.
Daisy observed her dad’s reaction from her bed and felt guilty. Although disappointed about the mess she created, Daisy’s parents could not resist their dog’s cuteness. They understood that she was lonely and perhaps anxious about being left alone often in the house.
