Millie, funny story---but....I sincerely do NOT want to worry you but please watch your dog. I hope she's "normal" today. Our dog did tis once. I came home from work, no one was home and she normally would have charged the door for me with total excitement and pleasure to see family. (She was a spaniel and loved her family). Anyway this particular day she didn't come running so I started calling her thinking she had some how gotten out of the house. She finally came downstairs from one of the bedrooms looking all guilty, with her tail between her legs. I welcomed her and sort of scolded her for scaring me, checked the house and all was fine. I really thought she had done a no-no in the house. It was just a few short weeks later that she died. We know she was in kidney failure at that time but we never did find out what brought it on. She was still her happy self most of the time but couldn't poop. She went downhill really fast from there. This has been over 8 years ago and we still miss her. She was our baby!
Again I don't want to scare you but do keep an eye on her. If she appears normal today then it was probably just some funny doggie quirk. Let us know please. ok?

A Really Weird Dog Story
THIS IS REALLY A WEIRD STORY? TODAY ME AND MY DD WENT OUT. MY DH WAS AT HOME WITH OUR DOG PRINCESS. SHE IS REALLY SPOILED AND A VERY GOOD DOG SHE IS A MIXED LAB, SHEPARD & HUSKIE. WHEN WE GO OUT SHE SULKS UNTIL WE COME HOME. WELL MY DH WAS STARTING DINNER FOR US AND WE WERE HAVING LEG OF LAMB WHICH IS THE FIRST TIME I EVERCOOKED THIS. SO A LITTLE WHILE AFTER MY DH PUT THE LAMB IN THE OVEN AND IT STARTED TO SMELL GOOD OF COURSE. MY DOG WENT UP STAIRS ALL ALONE SHE NEVER DOES THAT WITHOUT ONE OF US. SO HE TOLD ME THAT SHE HASN'T BEEN DOWN SINCE THEN WHICH WAS A FEW HRS BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME. WHEN WE GOT HOME HE TOLD US WHAT HAPPENED SO WE STARTED CALLING HER BUT SHE WOULDN'T COME DOWN. FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES SHE CAME DOWN WITH HER TAIL BETWEEN HER LEGS. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT SHE HAD AN ACCIDENT SOME WHERE IN THE HOUSE. WE WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE HOUSE AND FOUND NOTHING. WHEN WE CAME BACK DOWN SHE DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO COME DOWN AGAIN THEN SHE FOWWLOED US ALL DOWN THE STAIRS. SHE WOULDN'T GO IN THE KITCHEN SHE WAS STILL ACTING WEIRD NOW SHE WAS SHAKING LIKE A LEAF. SO WE WERE ALL HUGGING HER AND STILL SHE WOULDN'T STOP. SO I WALKED INTO THE KITCHEN AND SHE WOULDN'T COME IN THERE NOW SHE KEPT SMELLING THE AIR SO I FINALLY GOT HER TO GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK IN THE HOUSE. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OF HER WALKING AROUND WITH HER TAIL BETWEEN HER LEGS AND SHAKING. WE THINK THAT SHE DIDN' T LIKE THE SMELL OF THE LAMB. SO WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR DINNER SHE WOULDN'T GO NEAR THE OVEN. BUT MY HUSBAND THREW HER A PIECE OF LAMB AND SHE ATE IT. THEN I PUT SOME IN HER BOWL AND MIXED IT WITH HER FOOD AND SOME CHICKEN SHE JUST STOOD LOOKING AT ME LIKE AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT THIS. THEN I TOLD HER TO GO EAT AND SHE DID. BUT ALL NIGHT SHE IS STILL ACTING WEIRD AND WHEN I WAS WRITING THIS I HAD TO KEEP CALLING HER FOR 5 MINUTES TO COME DOWN STAIRS TO GO OUT FOR THE LAST TIME TONIGHT. SHE ACTUALLY STAYED AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS CRYING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN CAME DOWN IT WAS JUST REALLY STRANGE. I WISH I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT VIDEO IT BUT I DIDN'T BECAUSE I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT HER. THIS IS REALLY A FUNNY STORY I SAID TO MY DH MABYE SHE THINKS WE WILL COOK HER NEXT. LOL I REALLY WISH I NEW WHAT SHE WAS REALLY THINKING IT WAS JUST VERY STRANGE SO I HAD TO SHARE IT.

Man could she get that thing going too! We always said if she'd had a tail she could have been dangerous.
