 Rocky Seems Depressed.
We've had Rocky for about a year now. He's almost 2 in April. Lately, he seems depressed and not his usual self. Not sure if this could be winter realted or not - seeing how when we first got him he was just a pup during the winter months we've had him. Most recently we got a puppy Pomeranian to be his buddy, since we work a lot sometimes, he would have someone to play with. They played together quite a bit at first, but he is no longer interested in her when she tries to play with him. He just mopes around all day like he hates life. Since it's been cold out we don't take him out all too often since he can't really stand too much of the cold weather.
We used to cage Rocky until we got our new puppy, so now that he's a big boy he gets to stay out while we're gone and look out the window. He really never liked to go to the cage when we left, but now he'll jump in there when were home during the day and lay in the bed. Does he miss his old "home?" We try to make him feel special, apart from Bailey, by doing special things for him but that doesn't seem to have any effect on his depressed nature.
