I haven't been on in ages, and I've missed everyone.
Georgia and Polly are great.

However, Georgia, who is spayed...all of sudden is humping...my arm, Polly, pillows...she is 5 years old and has never done this.
Polly who is 2, never humps.

of course, I would trade the poop-eating for humping any day!!

any thoughts??

Sounds like dominance issues. Has anything changed in your home that would make them think that the family hierarchy has changed?

Hi welcome back. I think joe is right, has anything changed?Very occasionally Snoopy trys to mount Susi, she soon puts him in his place, but i think he is trying to dominate her. He always dashes out of a room first, sure sign of dominance.

I'm right with the others. Most likely a dominance issue and trying to figure out their place in the pack again for some reason.

in September, we fostered a rescued Beagle for about 5 days. And a couple times we might have dog visit with company...but never overnight, and it's been weeks since it happened.

and our family dynamics are the same--2 high school sons, husband... occasionally friend(s) stay over and play video games all night...but again, that has been going on for years.

same house for 3 years, same furniture...I did just get them new dog beds this weekend--they are exactly the same. they are for napping here in the living room. The dogs sleep with their people pack...
