I wonder--and this is not a criticism by any means--if the toy and smaller breeds are a little bit more nervous than the 85-pound big lugs some of us have. Their nervous systems seem to be more sensitive to their environment. Maybe they are just smarter and pick up on what's happening better than your average retriever?
Our dog is, like, "Where's my next meal? Oh, there it is. Okay, everything's fine." He gets apprehensive over loud, sharp noises and when the vet comes at him with a needle, but that's about it.
I hope everyone's dog & cat make a smooth transition. I'm sorry for what happened to casita's dog. What a tragedy.
