Ok, Rocky, 11yr Old Amstaff, Brought him home @ 6 weeks (had to, i saved him from a bad home). Since the day we brought him home he Growled in the mirror and at his own shadows,Shyed away from confrontations,Trembles at anything, and is basiccaly a Mental MESS. He also will get up on you, or a bed but when you ask him or try to get him down he growles.
Now dont get me wrong, i love the Old man, but he is absolutlry Mentally Ill !! My Point is this, he has started to shake and be nervous 90% of the 24hr period, He wakes up and jumps on the kids Licking them in the morning, then 10 min Later and for the rest of the day he growls at them or me, and Now has tryed to grab the Puppy because she Licked him. Ive only been on this site a few days and Ive told everyone how much i love my Dogs, but i have to say this - I'm either TIRED of the constant Pain in the neck w/him and situations He causes HIMSELF or i'm a heartless SOB !!! I really am starting to feel that if there isnt anything i can do for him I might talk to a Vet and ask them if i should put him out of his Own Misery. He is Accually making himself crazy.He is Scared as Hell of nothing, Sounds or if he backs into the Wall He freaks !!!! He cant be happy, He Chewed threw are bedroom door when we were gone , so Now we putting him in a crate...It's gotten even Worse over the last 2 yrs w/ age I think. My Wife got mad at me a bit ago because i was Peting him and askin him why he's so Darn Nervous, i was telling him to relax in a nice voice and the Old Fart Growled at me... Maybe im a little UNTRUSTING to. I have to say i Dont trust him even though he has Never hurt us. Its kinda like dealing with a Unstable Person, you never know when It's gonna Fly , he has a FEAR in his Eyes that makes me uncomfortable more and more everyday.....Am i being Selfish or do i have a right to be Tired of the 11yrs of Crazy and unstable behavoir.
