Carol, I am so sorry Nevada is not doing well It does sound like maybe the fall scared her and she's looking for a "safe" place when you aren't around. Would she go into a closet? (with the door open!) It seems like a lot of spooky dogs like closets, they can be very den-like.
Fletcher enjoys a little (1/2 cup?) goat's milk for desert I started getting it for one of the cats, it seems to be more easily tolerated than cow's milk. I think it is sometimes given to GH puppies as well.
weird! I agree about the small dog/big dog thing. Sometimes I look at Fletcher and think, I could have gotten a dog I could pick up with one hand, like the cats, but nnooooo, I had to get Godzilla. The big guys have a lot of advantages!
