Update... Squirt is now pushing 8 yrs old. He has done this pretty much his whole adult life if he is bothered when he is comfy, in one of his "clubhouses" under a bench or bed, or especially if he is woken up. He is just grumpy and persnickety at times. And I usually tell him NO then affirm for him he is safe with some strokes on his back or head.
He makes "Snoopy talk" type sounds too if moved or unwelcomely disturbed.
Small dog, HUGE personality.
