Dramatic Change in Behaviour

Hi, over the past week my dog Poppy's behaviour has changed dramatically, she wont do as she is told, crys all the time, and she has chewed up my settee, she has a toy that she wont leave alone, when you take it off her she goes to extreme lengths to get it back, we have had the dog for 4 years and she has never done anything like this before.
Could anyone advise what could be wrong with her.
Some one has suggested that she could have separation issues, but in 4 years this has not bothered her being left alone, she is only left alone for very short periods.

I wonder if she could be having a phantom pregnancy or even really be pregnant? Any chance? I'd take her to the vet to make sure but the attachment to a particular toy could be sign of that perhaps?
