I am very upset and concerned.
 

Hi! I have had Luna for about a year now, and we have ALWAYS had an awesome bond..she follows me everywhere, sleeps with me, cries for me when I'm gone. Shes my baby! But as of a day or so ago something has happened and she is acting VERY weary of me! She cries at my door whenever its just me and her in my bedroom... she wont sleep with me she sleeps in her crate. Shes just acting really weird and I'm SO upset! Please let me know if this has happened to any of you.

I've definitely never had this happen.. Is she feeling okay? Do you know if there is something wrong?

She seems fine! Shes acting exactly the same with everyone else, I don't understand what could happen. The only thing I can think of is yesterday morning I reached up to pull my hair in a pony tail and when dropped my hand back down my elbow smacked her VERY hard in the head... she cried and ran and hid under the table. I felt sick with guilt and I held her and petted her and she just hasn't been right since then.

It could have just startled her when you hit her. I have never had this happen to this extent before, but my baby had a bad reaction at the vet last week and wouldn't even come near me for the rest of the day. I'd just give her lot's of love and kisses and show her how much you love her.

BTW, I see you are from Arkansas! We are HUGE Hog's fans here! HAH

Oh really? I am too! I live very close to the stadium too! Thanks for the help, I am SO upset ugh my heart is broken. Luna is ALL I have right now and for her to act this way is just so upsetting... hopefully things get better soon.

I'm sure she will. Sometimes they get a little startled and need some extra TLC! My husband went to UofArk and has us all addicted. Counting down the days for football!

I'm not sure they understand accidents. The other day, I got off the couch, and a cushion fell over on top of Thor. I can't imagine how this would hurt him at all, but he actually screamed, and he acted very scared of me for an hour or so. I know it feels terrible. That being said, the way to a dog's heart is through its stomach. Lie on the floor and feed her a little chicken. I'm sure she'll suddenly remember how much she loves you. ;)

Yeah... maybe she's still upset about getting hurt. She probably thinks you hit her and doesn't understand. I agree with QuickSilver... feed her some chicken and give her some extra love. She will come around :)

My Benjamin did this for a short period. I even started a thread because I was concerned about it. Makes you sad. He came around. I thought maybe he just needed his space or something. Im sure your baby will come around tpp. Who knows what they are thinking sometimes. GL. :)

Sophie Kate did the same thing for two days, refused. to sleep in the bed with me. After much drama on my part which included me saying to her "after all I do for you this is breaking my heart" she decided to rejoin me in the bed. I think it is just them showing their independence.

It may be because you hit her by mistake, I have done that also and I remember the first time Sophie Kate looked at me like what heck is wrong with you and walking away. Give her time she will come back around, keep offering her love and cuddles.

Just a thought
 

There are great suggestions here. Try them until you find the key.
I know how you feel when you are ignored by the one thing in your life that asks for nothiing yet gets everything you have to offer. Oh yeah, they do ask for (everything) just by looking at you with those soleful eyes.
**If the previous suggestions don't work try the opposite technique (emotionally more difficuilt for us): ignore her. Just let her move in your world being nice but not needy. Don't approach her, let her come to you. Believe it or not this creates a desire in them that drives them to you. It does work, so when all else fails, ignore her. Feed her, love her but again, don't approach her.
Sometimes we are so traumtized by what we have (or have not) done that we actually create a problem where there was none.
There is usually a quicker recovery using this technique than when trying too hard to overcome whatever set this in motion. They need time to process the situation and work it out.
I use this often with rescue dogs that commonly have a trust issue. Just being there and not trying too hard to get close works wonders.
** I truely want to help and only present scenarios that have worked well for me in similar situations, because sometimes:

Although this is a different kind of bond, Lucy and Ringo seem to have lost their bond since we moved to a new house and new state.

She growls at him if he even walks into my bedroom and he pounced on her over some leftover food in her locked crate.

I've been walking them together at least twice a day since we are waiting on our fence being put up.

I'm worried about what's going on with them. Hopefully jitters over the move is all.

I treat mine just like kids. Drama over boo boos, kiss it to make it better, oh you poor baby, I'm soooo soorrrryy! Are you okay? Let me see it. hugs and cuddles. (You should check her head to see if she has a lump). Maybe repeated ad nauseum!

My toy poodle came down sick on sunday..she too was hiding out in her kennel and wouldnt come near my hubby or I, which is very unusal for her because she is very much a lap dog and needs to be by people. She spent the day at the vets on Monday. When she came home, she still wouldnt come near ME.. everytime I got up to move around she would shake and hide under the table or run to her kennel. I have never hurt her in anyway. She was this way on tuesday and wednesday and finally yesterday she didnt hide under the table or in her kennel at all and she let me pet her some, she got on my lap and gave me one small little kiss..:).. so she is coming around, but I still cant figure out why she was so upset with me. If your postive that nothing is wrong, then give it some time. Talk sweet to her and pet her alot when she will allow it. She will come around. :)
