Clingy after schedule change

Just wanted to see if this is normal - Bree has gotten very lap-dog clingy this last week. I'm assuming it's because she use to spend, at most, 2 hours by herself but due to schedule changes, now spends up to 8 hours by herself about 4 days a week (we're going into week 3 of this change). She's over-all healthy - happy to eat, run, play, bathroom habits all normal. She is a little more reactive when we're out and about town, although probably only I notice. But on the day's I've had to work late, she'll crawl on top my lap once I've settled in for the night and just sleep there for 30 minutes or so before going to her usual spot on the other side of the couch. Bree is definitely not a cuddle-bug and tends to prefer sleeping near rather than on people. Should I be concerned or touched or both by this new behavior?

I would not stress out over this ,dogs sleep when you are gone. I dont know if you have noticed dogs dont seem to value time like we do. Whether you are gone 5 minutes or 5 hours they always seem to be equally as happy to see you when you get home. Just enjoy the cuddle.
