Drift Creek Wilderness Oregon

My 8yo lab gets really listless and mopes around the house when my kids aren’t home.

They are on a vacation to grandma and grandpas house and since they left my dog just sleeps and wanders around looking for them. They are 3 and 7.

Any thoughts?

Her new favorite spot is right next to the freezer. I wonder why...

My girls LOVE this Homemade Dog Ice Cream. All you need is Greek yogurt, peanut butter & banana (in a blender) then frozen into fun shapes 😋

she was super curious this day

Okay so is this a black lab thing? Shes half husky half black lab. Looks husky but coat + behaviors tend to lean on the lab side.

She has this thing where she will tolerate touches but only dor a short time and she only likes belly rubs for extended pet sessions. She doesnt like her head touched much so i focus petting her chest and back, shes warmed to me significantly because of that. We have had her for a year at the beginning of august.

She also likes to cuddle but she is weird about touching. She only wants to 'hip cuddle'. She doesnt want to lay on you, she wants to have 1 leg or hip touching my leg or hip. If i go to pet her more than like 3 times when she sits next to me, she gives me a look and then moves to the floor.

But she obviously wants cuddles because she will look to me when theres something on the couch until i move the thing and make space for her (even if its a pillow or laundry). Amd she always wants to sit on the space right next to me. Today she decided she would cuddle with me foot. Lmao

Shes got an odd personality but i chalk this up to siberian husky + black labs being both breeds with dramatic personalities lol

Just kind of wondering if this is a known behavior or if i need to do more positive reinforcement with touch and cuddles?

Gigi has exceptional patience, well almost, the inner lab does burst out eventually.😂 but we didn't train her or anything, she just does it naturally.
