It got to the point where I actually sat up and talked to him, rubbed him down good and tried to soothe him. I am at a loss to what was bothering him. Mick is without a doubt the greatest dog we have ever owned, but as he has grown older he has these little neurotic episodes that drive me nuts.

Just so you know, he's right now asleep on our bed, and I am sitting her wasting time that should rightfully be spent on my winter painting. Maybe I will go poke him.
