Not sure this is anything serious but I've never known Monty so tired as today.
To set the scene.. Christmas Eve, he had an extra long walk at lunchtime but then visitors didn't arrive until 4 ish, and it was a fairly quiet evening, he did split his time between different bedrooms but think he got a decent amount of sleep.
Christmas day, he got 45 mins in the morning, then 50 minutes in the evening,( a lot for him, but an attempt to help him sleep) but he was pretty much on alert all day.
Then at night, we closed the door to the room my parents were sleeping in. Well. He kicked off big time. He simply would not accept the closed door, he whined, pawed, and even barked at their door. I know we can't transpose human emotions onto dogs, but Monty seemed so stubborn last night, it was untrue, he was determined to get onto the room locked off to him. I think he spent much of the night between our bedroom (finally) but also the landing, just waiting outside their room.
Today, he's knackered. Hasn't bothered us at all, he's moved between various sofas and beds, but don't think he has properly slept until now, our last visitor has left, he's had his dinner and may be finally relaxing. No walk today, he simply isn't up for it.
