Jose has been here for years and hasn't had any stress related problems until recently. He just won't live inside. When he first came he would travel between my house and my brother's. One day he showed up and had what looked to be a twig hanging from his tail. It was his tail. It had been skinned. Off to the vet he went for an amputation. He goes for shots annually. He has a furrever home as long as he wants to stay here, but he just lives outside. He doesn't have to worry about finding food. He knows where to get that at 7 am and 4 pm. Plus, he gets Advantage Multi, so no fleas or ear mite problems either. No mean adults or children out here either. Just us. There is a brown dog that has been walking through the yard lately. Maybe that has caused him stress. I wish I could have gotten a picture of him and Juliet sleeping on the spa the other day. She was draped over his middle like a belt. They slept like that for an hour or more. He loves his Julie Belle.
ETA: Here are a couple of Jose pictures. As you can see, he hasn't had to worry about finding food for a long time. He was 11.5 pounds today.
You can see his stubby tail here:
