I constantly preach about the need to provide your furry
friend with lots of exercise. It
occurred to me that this could be the problem.
It rained for many days then we had an ice storm on Friday. We have had frigid weather too.
Yesterday, the weather was tolerable, meaning it was not
raining or snowing. I spent as much time
outside with Gracie as I could. We took several
“walkies” instead of a couple of long walkies, as we normally do on
weekends. Rescue Daddy tossed toys and
played tug with Gracie. We both talked
and cuddled with her.
Gracie seemed more engaged and excited than she has been in
a while. We think Gracie’s “depression”
is just plain old cabin fever. She is
sick of being stuck in the house during this dreary winter, just like us!
If your buddy is acting differently, be sure to look at the
whole picture. Gracie’s appetite has
been fine. Her ”potty breaks” have been normal. Her coat looks good. Her gums are not pale. If she had anything out of the ordinary occurring,
we would have taken her to the vet.
Gracie just informed me that it is time for a trip to
Kiawah. Well, Gracie, use that keen
sense of smell to find us some money, and we will go!
