Shih Tzu Mania

Had the strangest thing happen last night and frankly it's got me baffled. 

Little Abby Dabby.....as I sweety call her most of the time.....Usually when she goes to bed nothing and I mean nothing wakes her up, she's out like a light till 8 the next morning. She woke suddenly last night like she had a night mare....growling at first into darkness in the general area of the stairs then barking and would not stop. She even got up to investigate barking and growling the whole time. 

I got up and told her bed and she went right back to the end of the bed but still growling into the landing.....she would just not give it up for over 45 minutes Racking my brain what could have spooked her I even got up again and closed the blinds to make it darker just in case the full moon shining brightly through the window was casting long shadows might be the cause...She settled somewhat but still would wake up all night and growl at the landing....

She was no better this morning.....periodically growling and barking at the landing again..but from downstairs......And it was day light!!! 

Have you gone crazy I asked her.....Her behavior even resorted back to day 1 at the store. When I released their leads off the pole she attacked her own lead with her teeth just like she use to when I first got her....she's been out of sorts all day acting weird..She's not a big barker at all, rarely do I hear her bark...but today she was in over drive at everything and nothing to bark at from within the house...even TV actors talking bothered her.

She sleeping quitely now...she's exhausted me correcting her all day so I put her to bed at 7:30. Fingers crossed what ever is disturbing her leaves her alone tonight...I'm beat

What do you think Auntie's....what can be be? Mommie's going crazy at my behavior

Bugs, critters, someone with a whistle only dogs hear.......a bug bite, foot went to sleep, sleep walking. 

But yes - a ghost would be fun and entertaining!

It sounds like a nightmare.  Poor love.

You know when that feeling lingers all day, even when you knew it was a dream?  And that is from a human perspective.

if it carries on, she may have connected the feeling with a place (the landing), in which case, a few games and wrestling and treats in that location could sort it out.

Ooh poor Abby and poor Auntie Crystal... Love your pic Abby but one look in those eyes says it all... Ghosts ??! Yup I'm pretty sure me an Abby had a talk once about ghosts on your landing, pretty sure we did... Looks like they're baack... :rifle:gonna have to take em out mom!  ummm how far away did you say Auntie Jo lives, ya know her ghosts are Gone... Just sayin.. Kinda weird coincidence huh? :ohyeah: but it coulda just been the wind, sometimes I bark at the wind, but then again you woulda said something bout bad weather... Sorry Auntie Crystal, I hope they're nice ghosts too. :throb:Missy

So glad to hear Abby that you slept thru the night last night. Sorry to hear the that you had a stressful night the night before......I really think sometimes these rescues have a flash back of the past......I have had times when I wake up from a sound sleep and wonder where I am....it freaks me out I can only imagine what it can do to our paws.  Bailey and Lucy go thru what I call nighttime stress every once in awhile.......Bailey I can calm down pretty quick but Lucy paces.....not that I feel she was abused like Bailey but we feel she still misses her master and gets up at night and paces back and forth as if looking for someone......usually a full moon seems to be the trigger  but we are in one now and so far it has been quiet......get some rest Abby Lane and you too Crystal......as Mom's we always sleep with one eye open......love the picture of our sweetie, just want to hug her.......
