I love everyone's comments! Amy, do you think there might be a possibility that Smokey is losing his hearing? My Pumpkin, toy poodle who went to the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 17, was increasingly *brave." On day when he was sleeping, I walked right up to him and clapped about 5 inches from his ear. No response.... I don't remember how old you said Smokey is, but I think you said he is a 'senior doggie' and it could be that his sudden braveness is due to lack of hearing.
He's 17. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he can't hear much.......he hasn't been able for a long time. Honestly though, things didn't scare him when he was younger and could hear well either. And stealing food from Nebo has nothing to do with hearing, lol, that's a pretty brave act! Poor Nebo just stands there looking at me when he eats his food like, "Moooooom, do something!!"
