Dar has been odd for a week or more----------I'm not 'worried' about this, but it's kinda cute and quirky.
Several times this week I'll him barking at something---the bark that usually means he's 'upset/concerned---(like the time he saw a snake in the grass)....
The first time he was standing by the studio door, barking like crazy at what I thought was a shirt hanging on the line. But as I investigated with him, I realized he was barking at my little Art Bag sitting on the back step. _About the size of a half of loaf of bread___
He just barked and zipped around it-------(it never sits there, so it was out of place for hm). when I went over and picked it up, cooing to him..""It's okay, Dar, It's just the bag-looky Dar, it's just the bag"""
he decided to whip up a fit of zoomies, all around the yard.!!!!!1
When he'd zip by the art bag (with me holding it), he'd jump, skid and bark, running away again!!
He's done it twice more in the last couple of days. Gerry's bike was sitting outside the picket fence----I liked to NEVER GET him calmed down on that one---even putting him in the house didn't keep him barking at the door. I went out and brought the bike on the front porch, and after he reluctantly smelled the tire a few times, ((realizing it wasn't some kind of animal or alien), he was okay.
Same thing this morning, with a Foot Locker Bag, full of stuff. Our house can be cluttery at times, so it's not like I"m some kind of neat-freak, and any change in the environment upsets him.
It's some kind of phase, LOL LOL...
Anyone else's dogs get all whacked out over 'new' stuff, or stuff not in it's original place???
