I wish I had video taped a before and after....because we don't have the same dog.
When she came home she was a bit "woozy" and of course all medicated. We sidestepped some of our home rules and allowed her to sleep at the foot of our bed (she normally sleeps in her cage with the door open...in our room). We also kept her inside 24/7 and her usual routine is outside during the day and inside at night.
She used to chew every damn thing in the house, gnaw it too death, she now cuddles. She used to chase our chihuhua into hiding everyday, now she seeks him out and sits quietly next to him.
She nests now....ALOT. We wake up and we have 4 sets of shoes, a couch pillow, the TV remote in the bed with us and she guards them feverishly.
She eats less, she whines more, she favors ME more and before she favored my husband.
Today I just wanted to clean so I put her in the backyard. A few hours later I check on her and ALL the pool floaties are neatly stuffed in her dog house (SERIOUSLY I HAVE A PIC). She also dug a hole in each corner of the yard (she was never a digger before).
She also barks less.
What the hell...has ANYONE experienced this and WILL it end and if not.....oh not if not....I want my dog back, well my dog back with the "liking the chihuhua thing" that works.
