I'm not saying to get another dog I'm just pointing out why he's so unhappy, he's lonely. 
BTW, has your boyfriend ever had a dog before? Maybe he doesn't understand the bond we feel with our dogs. We bring our pets into our homes and become their sole source of shelter, food, love and affection and in return they love us unconditionally. |
I agree 100% with this. Dogs are indeed pack animals. I just got added a lab to my family and he is completely cool in his crate as long as hubby, me, Hootie and/or Hobbs are in the same room with him. The second he is left all alone in a room by himself, he goes nuts. He wants to be with the pack. At night, my lab sleeps in a crate and Hootie and Hobbs sleep in bed with us, but Lamar is completely fine with this as long as he is in the room with us and can see us and smell us. Otherwise, he is NOT a happy camper. I am sure Thor is feeling these same things. He has been with a pack for so long (his 2 other friends and in bed with you) and now he is isolated. He's just sad.
