<\/a>and wanting Mum to hold his paw. She\u2019s quite worried about him. He\u2019s been behaving really oddly when we go outside too. He doesn\u2019t come in when he\u2019s called and if I bounce anywhere near him he just freezes, like in that game where you\u2019re supposed to be a statue. Mum says she thinks he is feeling very vulnerable and doing what animals do when they don\u2019t want to be seen. I can still see him though. Mum makes me come in so he can unfreeze. She tried playing ball with him for a little while to cheer him up, but he was so upset when the game had to finish that she said she thought it was actually worse than if she hadn\u2019t played with him at all. I hope our vet can make him better as it\u2019s no fun when he\u2019s like this. He says getting old is proving harder than he expected and Mum just stroked him gently and said she understood. I didn\u2019t really, but then I suppose I\u2019m still only a puppy really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
