I have a petcam set up, and he sleeps pretty much all morning, but have noticed that in the afternoon, he has a barking period at about 3:30 PM, and it's LOUD. My neighbors must be hating me. Though he does quiet down after a while and go back to sleep.
He doesn't bark at any other time when we're with him, it's just this one period of the day.
ANy ideas of how to keep him amused? I left toys, some of which I know he plays with. He doesn't seem to like the Kong toys, which I was hoping would keep him occupied. But feel like he needs something more. ANd unfortunately, I can't give him my presence all afternoon, much as I'd like to!
Otherwise, he is a fabulous little puppy, and I am just so happy to have him in my life!
