I figured out what's wrong w/ him, but I feel like SUCH a bad mom. Well, he would get nervous when I was near the couch (where I usually sit w/ him) and RUNNNNNN the other way or cower and stick his tail btwn his legs.
Yesterday when I was laying on the couch, he was laying on the back of the couch (like a cat) looking out the window. I put my hand up without looking to pet him and I accidentally poked him and he lost his balance and slipped off the back of the couch. He was holding on for dear life. I grabbed him and kissed him and apologized a million times.
I think he's afraid of being on the couch w/ me because he thinks I am going to push him off or something. I feel AWFUL.
