Artie Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 uhh my dog is 12 years old and he has been starting to act all wierd, like he is doing things he has never done before, like just run and hide in a corner in our downstairs, bark to go outside every five minutes and now go onto the furniture that we taught him not to do, and he has never done before. It is starting to kinda get me worried, becuase my family and I can't figure out what is wrong with him. He has never done any of this stuff before. We think it has to do with our neighbor's new dog that they let rome around in our backyard is driving him nuts, because he ha salot of German Shepard in him, which if you didn't know, is a very territorial dog. But I mean, it can't just be that with all the stuff going on with him. The barking to go out could be because of it, but the hiding in our downstairs can't, and same with the funiture stuff. I'm really starting to worry about him. i was wondering if anyone could tell me what is wrong with him, and what I could do. Any and all help will be apreciated. Thanks guys. CHIEF: Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 its probably that new dog, like you said. btw Your house looks cozy. Link to comment
Artie Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 yea i think the new dog is only part of the problem though. that would account for the mindless barking and wanting to go out every five minutes. but the hiding downstairs infront of the door to the garage, and the jumping on furniture, i have no idea. and yea lol, it is pretty cozy Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 is the furniture near windows? He might be going to that door, to make sure that dog doesn't come in and not. I can't say im much of a canine physcologist, but i have yet to live a year of my life without at least one canine companion. Link to comment
DreamerGirl Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 2^You'd be surprised how neurotic people and animals can get when a change occurs that they don't like. This sounds silly, but maybe he's doing it for attention? I mean, if he was taught not to go on the furniture he probably knows he'll get in trouble for it, but trouble is still attention.... If he's really worrying you though, maybe a quick call to the vet could ease your mind? Link to comment
Artie Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 no, the furniture is nowhere near windows, except for that chair, but he goes on the couches, not the chair. seriously i am getting worried and a little scared. if the furniture was near windows I would be smacking myself right now for being a dumbass but i just don't know...

ROCKSTEADY Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 i wouldn't be worried, alot of dogs change their attitude from time to time. My dog for instance used to try to crawl in confined spaces, now he has this extreme hatred and distrust for anythig avian, no matter how small or large. Im guessing its just a change from the usual because of that dog. Link to comment

No Sad Endings Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 yeah it's probably just changes in the environment, but you should take him to the vet just in case Link to comment

Artie Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 dog Alzheimer's? well we were thinking that, becuase it actually like exists. hang the fucker from piano wire, saddam's-half-brother-style seriously, don't fucking say that about my fucking dog. hmm...he is back to normal now. We think it was actually his ears. His ears have always bothered him, and lately they have been really bad. but he is getting better now. Thanks for all your help guys! except cappy. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 well we were thinking that, becuase it actually like exists. seriously, don't fucking say that about my fucking dong. DO you pet your dong? This doesn't sound that bad anyways. My dog was part german shepard and rotweiller and a bunch of other stuff he was about 12 years old. When my dog started to go he vomited anything that went down his throat even water so we had to have him put down. But your dog just seems curious of the new animal. It will go back to it's instincts when it hears another dog. Maybe the dog is a female and good ole Chief has a dog chubby, assuming your dog is male. Anyways im sure its nothing. *edit* Didn't see that you figured it out. Link to comment
Artie Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 lol, i was typing fast, i didn't mean to put dong lol. yea, well does the tern "fixed" mean anything to you when talking about dogs? lol. it would be cool to have a few little chiefs running through my house. Chief thanks you guys!!!: Link to comment
cappy Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 cut off his legs so he cant run anywhere, then run him over with a pickup Link to comment
Artie Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 you are the definition of "Fucking Buttplug", aren't you cappy? only a person in serious need of being kicked in the nuts would say something like that about my Chief. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 sorry man, are we cool? No, I challenge you to a duel. Link to comment
Artie Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 No, I challenge you to a duel. I have a feeling that he wasn't asking you...yea... and yea, no problem. I just don't like it when people talk like that about my dog, well animals in general. Link to comment
