under the bed

So, with the risk of making this a blog entirely about Olivia, here is yet another interesting tidbit about my puppy.  Ryan and I discovered that Olivia likes to go under our bed and....who knows really but we assume just lay there or sleep.  This isn't that surprising.  I think dogs might like close spaces and I bet she has some kind of stash under there that we will be delighted to discover when we move our bed.  She sometimes goes under there before bed and we can hear her crawling around.  The part of this story that is kind of strange is her latest habit.  Last night was the second time this has happened.  Olivia was bored and frustrated with us because, after being gone all day, we proceeded to both sit at the table and study.  We did our best to completely ignore her.  Before long I could hear a faint whine.   Olivia went under the bed and started crying softly to herself.  This happened another time too, and I am starting to think that she really just gets so depressed from lack of attention that she can think of nothing better to do than go off by herself to cry!  I know this sounds very sad, but she definitely got her way.  We went in and coaxed her out and she was wagging her tail and so happy.  I've never met a dog with more human tendencies.
