Moving can be very stressful for everyone involved, and that includes our dog roommates.<\/p>\n
For dogs<\/a>, moving can be chaotic, as they don’t really understand what is happening, and they may worry you will forget them, like when you pack your suitcase for a trip.<\/p>\n Except this is all your suitcases and furniture, so the worry is even more significant.<\/p>\n We see that very clearly in this video from the account @keanuthepompom<\/a>.<\/p>\n Keanu is an adorable Pomeranian<\/strong><\/a> who sees all the packed bags and boxes in his house and is worried his mom may forget him.<\/p>\n So what did he do?<\/p>\n He pretended to be one of her duffel bags.<\/p>\n Keanu decided his best strategy was to blend in with his mom’s beloved Alo Bag, as there is no way she would leave that behind.<\/p>\n On the caption for the video, his mom wrote, “Unwell bc my dog is disguising himself as a duffel bc he thinks he’s getting left behind.” Then she put a little broken heart emoji.<\/p>\n It is heartbreaking to think that anyone would leave their dog behind!<\/p>\n But it’s also kind of funny that the pup is pretending to be a duffel bag even though he’s a furry little dog.<\/p>\n But good news! Keanu, or Keeks or Keke for short, as his mom calls him, made it to their new apartment in Brooklyn!<\/p>\n In this sweet video of them in their brand-new furniture-less apartment, you can see and hear his little excited pitter-patters as he explores his new digs.<\/p>\n She tells him, “This is home!” but then quickly follows it with, “You can’t pee, OK?”<\/p>\n It’s smart to set boundaries early in a new living situation, after all!<\/p>\n Even with verbal reassurance that they are moving with you, it can be hard to communicate to dogs what is happening, and many of them can get anxious.<\/p>\n Some options to help with moving stress include anti-anxiety medications or trying to keep them entertained or distracted with a toy in a different room from where you are packing.<\/p>\n Crate training can also come in handy when moving, as they know the crate is their safe place.<\/p>\n You may also want to consider boarding them for the night or day or leaving them with a dog sitter or friend, so they don’t have to see all the chaos.<\/p>\n When you have moved into your new place, put out familiar items for them, like their toys and blankets.<\/p>\n Also, make sure their food and water are in an accessible place.<\/p>\n Related: Paddington-Lookalike Pomeranian Tries First Taste of Marmalade<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade Pets<\/a> on Nov 14, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
