    Whimpering Pup
    The last couple weeks We have been crazy busy with our wedding planning & other wedding we have had to attend. Since last Sunday Duncan has been whimpering more then normal. He normally lets out a little whimper when he has to go out. Lately he is whimpering for what seems to be no apparent reason.

    Could he be having some abandantment issues or if he just uncomfortable with the high humididty in the MA area over the last 2 weeks.

    Since dogs don't sweat, I am not sure humidity bothers them like it does us. Heat does.

    Hettie brings up a very good point. Stress flows down the leash. If you are upset, your dog is upset. My Aster could have worked a few more years as a dog guide if her partner dealt with her stress better. Once again, we are keeping her current dog while one of her family is in the hospital. Even service dogs have limited access in hospitals. It is just much easier for all for him to come stay with us. He and our Holly are having a great time.

    Try to find time to sit and brush him. He is a Lab? Chances are, he needs it. It will be good for both of you.

    I figured he was just thown off by the lack of attention. Making sure we are there & not running off again.

    Thanks to you both.
