Maddie has always been the independant one but she's been loving and always slept in the bed with us at night. But, lately it seems she's putting more and more distance between us...sleeping on the floor or laying in another room instead of with us in the family room.

She has no health issues, nothing has changed within the house or our routine...I just don't know why she is being this way.

Last night I put her in the bed and she got down and slept on the floor...she's been doing that for a couple of weeks now.

She has been with us since she was a puppy and she will be 5 in a couple of weeks...no recent vaccines or diet changes...I feel like she doesn't like me anymore...but I don't know what changed...

Everytime I sit down in my chair I pick her up to sit with her and she will stay there for a little while and then get down.

I talk to her and play with her, I feed her and do probably 99% of their care and all of their grooming and yet when we come home they run past me to greet my husband with full enthusiasm...I get nothing until they are done seeing 'Daddy'.

I'm starting to feel offended by this...lol!

Any ideas as to what I can do to make this better?
