Yes, Micky, he’s growling a lot more. He is always pretty vocal, but it's a lot worse. Our vet said don't yell at him or get mad. He's not snapping out biting and yelling could push him over the edge. He actually licks us as he's growling. It's really strange. I've never had a dog do that, then again I never had a JRT . He sleeps under the covers with me and when Sylvia comes under too be growls crazy at her. He never bit her and I really don't think he will and she's doesn't seem worried about it either. Stubborn is the same word I would have used to describe Harley. I don't think it's a problem, I just hope it's a psychological thing and not a physical thing. Psychological I can correct, but I don't want my boy in any pain. Like I said he's eating, sleeping, and playing normally. He's not panting. He's giving no signs of being in pain. He also has a problem with his anal glands. He pops them naturally, but sometimes he gets in a bad mood until they do. We can help him with that because we used to have to help Angie, but the vet said he is able to do it on his own. There are a million things that could be making him growl this time of year. He also HATES change and holiday decorations tend to make him in a bad mood too. He's such a little weirdo
