Doggy Camera

[anthro-nerd]

I'v recently invested in a camera that I can log into via my phone to keep an eye on my little dog at home!

A little extreme perhaps, and arguable a good security feature (as long as it doesn't get hacked!)

But more importantly - my lazy dog hasn't moved off his bed all morning!!

Research has shown that getting some sleep is often the way that dogs try to cope with the stress of being left on their own. Analysis of the hormone levels in dogs' urine (from the first time that they urinate after the return of their owner) has shown that, even though they appear to have been sleeping peacefully, they've actually been getting extremely stressed.

So you dog is probably sleeping because he's missing you so much.

Alternatively though, he could just be a lazy little so-and-so ;-)

I've just got one Anthro. I use it to spy on the cat. It's hilarious. He is very naughty when his slave isnt around. He gets up about quarter past midnight and has a mad run round the house. He scratches the sofa. He jumps on EVERY surface he can. In fact he does all the things that I would really rather he didnt!

Haha barmaid!! Love it!

So far my little Willis has slept... 3 hours and counting!! I don't think it's because he's stressed as Buen said... I know my dog and when he's stressed he won't settle at all... maybe I'm wrong. But I think he's just chilled and sleeping.

What a brilliant idea! Do you have a link for these cameras? What are they called?

This is the one I have: Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

I'm sure there's others out there, but so far so good with this one! Only had it a day though!

Many thanks for the link. Going to try this one.

For any of you wondering I have learnt the following: my dog sleeps A LOT. I've since found a new napping spot of his under the kitchen table on the chair, and he doesn't play with his treat ball like I thought he did, instead he naps and then brings it to me when I get home to release the treats for him, thinking he'd be trying all that time! Cheeky monkey!
