Gucci used to be quite skittish with loud noises. One of the funniest incidents occurred when a hot air balloon flew low over the house and then fired its gases. He was so scared we had a hard time getting him to go outside again. He was always cowering and looking up. Often times this cowering would be accompanied by a slight "scared" bark.
Now, of course, he is almost totally deaf. so virtually no noise startles him. We can come in the house and be in the kitchen for a long time before he even notices we are here. Up until recently he would bark to go outside. He no longer can walk easily to the back door, so he doesn't bark much anymore. He does not like to be outside alone. The other day we were inside and he barked from the bottom of the deck to come get him So we carry him out, periodically, hoping he does not have an accident.
Today was a good day with no accidents. He got outside and walked around. He still cannot stand and eat so he has to be fed by hand while he is flat. The weather was beautiful today. Hopefully it will be nice tomorrow. "The Summer of Gucci" continues....
