But this shaking is so pathetic since 2019 fire works, any sudden unusual chirps or thunder sets him shaking, So I have started to coddle him, thing is, he doesn't want to be coddled lol. just wants to be glued to me. I laugh at him saying, you want to take on all bigger dogs but you're a lil scaredy cat at noises lol. I don't like when he gets scared like that, but love the idea that he comes to mamma for protection, I love the trust he has in me that I will not let any harm come to him. |
That's exactly how Duchess was acting. She turned into my velcro baby real fast.
. This is the first time I've seen her behave like this. Noises don't usually bother her not even firecrackers. So it was a little concerning seeing her like this. I wonder if just because she's getting older. She'll be 9 years old in a few months. Maybe she is just becoming more sensitive to sound.
