Our neighbors are really nice but have two big dogs that are fenced with the underground fence. They stay in their yard but our first night here - they had company and the visiting big dog ran over into our yard and made a beeline for Lucy. I reached down to pick her up but she was trying to run away . . . anyway, I picked her up and she was fine. But now she is terrified to go out in the yard. Mine are on a leash at all times (not used to that either as we had 1/2 acre fenced yard at our old house).
She is just laying around; doesn't want to play with her toys inside the house or go out on the leash with me and Ringo. It's too hot to walk; maybe after dark we will explore our neighborhood a little bit.
Suggestions? Or will it just take some time? I will be getting a fence up as fast as I can!
I guess I've been a little stressed myself and it probably shows. |
Well first of all good luck with your new home and wow a new state too! I think it's probably right now a function of all the changes, and of course that dreadful heat, that maybe creating her listlessness.
Not too sure how familiar you are in your new neighbourhood, but I'd try to go after first light in the morning to explore you will be able to see more. It should be fairly cool then, and on a Sat you might get to meet some neighbours, and also see your surroundings better.
I was only in West Virginia once but it was just gorgeous.
