@susieq : My dogs were about 12 when I moved them off my 300+ spread to downtown Houston and put them on a leash for the first time. They also, between them, outweighed me by about 30 pounds. The first time they saw a squirrel they dropped my to my knees. It happened a few times again, but I got smarter about a short lease.
Doggies are like people, they need to adjust to new surroundings. Glad to see your baby is. That, and Peanut realizes the changes.
