I know why the caged dog barks...

While I've received a suspension of my sentence, things are not all rainbows and bacon here at the house of Momma. She is not herself and somethings wrong but I don't know how to fix it. Sometimes she acts strange(not wanting kisses, falling asleep on the couch) but this time is different. She's spending a lot of time in bed, which means a lot of time away from me. In the grand scheme of things, we are still together the same amount of time but she isn't going to work as often and instead of spending extra time with me, she's spending it with her bed which is totally not fair! She says she's "depressed," whatever that is. Grammaw was really sick the last 2 months and Momma was really worried so maybe that that caused this "depressed" thing but whatever caused it, I don't like it.

Momma swears she'll be better soon, but I'm not too sure. She's never been like this before and I don't know how to fix her. I'm trying to behave more and be more patient but there are still things I want at certain times (mainly kibbles and my daily allotment of chicken meat) Has anyone else had to deal with this? How did you make it through?
