    Dog seems to be afraid of everything more and more
    We adopted our dog a little over a year ago. She is a wonderful dog (4yrs old, large mix breed) and is so loving and sweet tempered. She is very spoiled and usually has someone home with her for most of the day and is only left alone when I go to work part time for about 3-4hrs total daily. She goes on walks, is brushed and we try to play with her but she isn't into playing too much. Recently we noticed she seems like she is afraid of everything. Starting about late May she would get scared on her walks and pull us back to the house so quick. That stopped for a while and now she seems to be scared of any little noise. Noises like a blanket ruffling or a cup being placed on the table will send her right out of the room. She used to sleep in our room with us but will not anymore and only wants to sleep on the couch. I'm currently almost 9mo pregnant so I don't know if she is just sensing change or what is going on with her. She was at the vet in June for her shots and heartworm test and everything was fine. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? Thanks in advance!
