Hi
She might be missing him and toping up her scent to help her cope better. Try leaving an item of your fathers worn clothing on the bed and around the room and in her basket etc. I would also cover the bed in a waterproof cover so you don't have to keep washing it.
Do not be cross with her as this may stress her out even more.
You might like to investigate further why she is so dependent on him and for this you will need a qualified behaviourist in your area. Ask your vet to recommend one.
Hope this helps
