Just thought you might not be aware of these symptoms or recognize them when displayed as many if not most Village dog owners do. (I understand the term “owner” is now considered to be a “White Supremacist” term and may trigger someone and turn this thread into a racist subject. A lesser used and understood term is “ Eggshell skulls”. In the modern world, it seems, everyone’s skulls are susceptible to cracking at the slightest provocation, which this forum seems to demonstrate is true).

Thank you Dr. Phil...
