Yep, my boobah does that forever and a day. There's a place by the side of the leather couch where I keep her bully stix and other stuff.
I have some books there and when I reach to get one she's thinking it's a stick..Also, I have to let her know whatever Im doing at all times. She's got me wrapped around her little paw! But last night was tough, she wouldnt go to sleep as usual....I checked her for problems but all was clear. Luckily we have a sliding door that leads from the den to the kitchen. We live in a townhome. Steps all over the place. When we eat, we close that door and sometimes she will be quiet, and other times she'll start whining. So, I know how you feel...I just take it a day at a time. I get a lot of info from reading these posts...
