She is a stay at home mom , so it was never a LONG period of time. BUT I am wondering if something happened to him while he was outside and maybe she wasnâ??t home? That he is tying together people walking on to his property, and noise. Was it related to pain? Did kids come on the property and shoot him with a BB gun? Is he associating pain , with people walking towards him outside, with a popping hissing noise? I donâ??t know, we probably will never know. I would start with a Complete blood panel including a detail thyroid and see what that shows. If his thyroid is off the whole temperment can change. However if you can not get to the bottom of the problem I would NOT rehome him.... Deb <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
