Q: Our 4-year-old hound/shepherd mix has two beds in our house, one upstairs in our bedroom and one downstairs in the living room. Historically, she always spent the day downstairs where we spend most of our own day working from home. She only slept in her bed upstairs at night. Recently, though, she has been choosing to spend more time upstairs during the day—almost all of her inside hours, actually. We have a 1-year-old cat who sometimes steals her downstairs bed, but that has been going on for months and doesn’t account for the new behavior. Should we be concerned?
