New PetIn October I adopted a 13 yr. old Silky Terrier who was rescued from a hoarding situation. She had been in a foster home for 11 mos. before I got her. She was very fearful and shaking a lot. She is now pretty relaxed. She liked to sniff around
I'm glad to hear Jill is doing so well. Dog's preferences can change with the weather or just due to their own reasons. As long as she doesn't;t seem anxious or fearful outside, I think it's probably fine. Many dogs, especially older ones, do sleep a lot! Make sure she is going outside to potty at least 4-5 times a day and watch her for any signs of illness. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
