Hondo has never been a mouthy dog, but last night he started to grab my hand / wrist and hold it in his mouth. He doesn't chew or play or tug, he just holds it.
He had a very eventful weekend this weekend. My daughter came over from Louisiana on Thursday night with her beagle from the depths of he!!.
Someone's car went off in the ditch Friday night and got stuck. Saturday morning they returned to get it out bringing with them every person they knew who owned a truck to participate in the the monster truck pull-out.
Saturday night our neighbor down the road lost their pony and drove up and down our road slowly with a search light shining in everyone's pastures. Eventually the pony made it to our pasture and the owners were wondering around in our pasture with flashlights driving Hondo insane. We were able to trap it in our round pen and the Wild Pony of Pearland adventure ended peacefully.
Sunday afternoon my folks and my sister & family came over for dinner. Hondo behaved well, although I don't allow him to run around my parents as I'm concerned that he'll knock them down. So he spent a lot of time at a stay, in his crate or in the yard. This was for about 2.5 hours.
After everyone was gone, I was cleaning up. Hondo kept coming to me and grabbing my hand / wrist and stand there looking at me. At one point I took him outside and brushed him thinking he was feeling insecure or something. Later when we went to bed, I allowed him on the bed thinking he needed some 'me' time, but he did it again. This time taking my wrist in his mouth and actually laying down flat on his side with my wrist still in in his mouth. He isn't playing, he just sorta freezes. He doesn't apply a lot of pressure or pulls, he just holds it snuggly.
Should I stop this behavior if it continues? Do you think that perhaps he is a little out of sorts because we had so many 'strange' things happening this weekend?
