What does it mean when a dog "huffs"?
I was at work today (work in a vet clinic) when a Rhodesian Ridgeback came in for a nail trim. I sometimes help hold dogs for shots, nail trims, anal gland expressions, etc. Anyway, this RR was extremely shy and nervous, so we take her out back, as sometimes when they are away from the owner, they tend...
