Home Alone

Just got home at 6, after leaving puppy wilson home all day. He doesn't seem to mind staying at home, in fact I think he is adapting to it. When I stay home he sleeps from 8am - 3pm. Napping on and off, getting up only for a drink or a nibble on food. then at around 5 he gets really excited and hyper, as if he is waiting for something. Researching to find cues for depression in dog's in case it is something I need to work on. Some other behaviors I have noticed, is increased dependance on me when I am around and acting a little rambunctious when playing together. He is getting to need to sit on my lap when I am home, which is a pain because I use a laptop for homework. Will have to keep an eye on little Wilson, he can't talk so it is important to take clues from him.
