Panting and Pacing
While we were watching a survival show, my dog seemed to be scared. She was panting and pacing and trying to hide under me! Every time we got close to her, she would jump up on us, like she was excited. I was scared and confused. Can somebody explain her behavior?

I bathed him after the grooming, thinking he was allergic to the shampoo, including hosing off his butt. As previously noted, the general itching...
