Anyway, for about 2 weeks now Striker's behaviour is a little weird. Everytime he goes into our bedroom he climbs on the pillow, put a piece of the pillow in his mouth and just holds it between his teeth. He's not biting or chewing the pillow, he just puts it in his mouth and holds it. He will even sometimes fall asleep like that.
I checked his mouth - everything is fine. He still eats, exercises, plays, sleeps, etc just the same as always.
He still sleep with us in bed, so this happens mostly during the day, or at night while we're preparing for bed, before he gets into our bed.
At first I thought his teeth may be itching (but I have tons of chew toys)
But as it continues the only other thing I can think of is that it's a "coping" thing (like some dogs lick to cope with stuff). But, Striker isn't an anxious dog, nothing in or around the house changed, our routine didn't change. In general he's very confindent.Could there be another reason for this?
Or if it is a coping thing - what can I do to help him? Or how do I determine what it is that he's not coping with?
It doesn't bother me that he's "holding" the pillow - if it makes him happy he can do it the whole day if he want to. I'm just worried that the reason the does that is that he is stressed or something?
