Hi All,

I have a question about my 5 year old Yorkie, Alex. Normally, he is a bundle of energy and loves to play fetch. I couldn't ask for a better dog. Last night, I took him outside for one last trip to the bathroom before bed. He stepped in the grass and was there for a few seconds when all of a sudden he jumped and started yelping. I quickly grabbed him and examined him but did not see anything wrong on him physically. I looked around in the area he was standing and did not see any snakes or vermin of any kind. Once inside, he shot into his crate and hid with his back to the door. I got him out and examined him again but saw nothing wrong with his paws. He walks normal but acts really timid. Hi behavior has not changed this morning either. Although, he did run to eat his breakfast and seems to make a very feeble attempt to play ball. Right now, he is hiding in his crate again. Has anyone ever encountered anything like this before??? Was he just spooked maybe??
