[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 287676, member: 84"] Not a good sign. in my opinion Something went on, enough to cause the dogs not to bark when you returned. You could try an experiment. Have difficult child leave the house with one of you, so the dogs see him go. Have the adult return and see the dogs reaction, if there is barking with the greeting. Travis has to be supervised with the pets. When we're gone they're crated or put outside because he won't bother them. He doesn't hurt deliberately. But just like with people, doesn't know when what he's doing is too much. Molly loves everyone in her family. The crating/putting dogs out when we were gone started when I suddenly noticed that Molly would dodge away from Travis and hide under the kitchen table. I don't think he was intentionally mean to her. But Molly is older now and experiencing the pains of advanced age. She doesn't tolerate Travis' roughness these days. Thus the hiding under the table. Travis was told to keep his distance from her for a while. She's since gotten over it.......but still will not seek him out for affection. He also caught heck when I noticed Betsy dodging raised hands. My dogs are never struck. Never. Betsy still seeks Travis out for belly rubs and such though. She is just a mega love dog. lol Nichole I've had to work with on training. Being a difficult child she'd always be tempted to hit when frustrated. She grew out of it.........But there was a time when I didn't leave the pets alone with her either. My gut say something happened. Obviously the dogs are ok. But still. I know how you feel. Gives you an uneasy feeling. Hugs [/QUOTE]
