White Dog acted listless and bored all evening. She hardly responded to Steve's arrival home from work and was not interested in any of their usual games. Dinner wakened a ho-hum interest, especially when Steve gave White Dog a denta-chew and a piece of dried beef lung. She seemed intent on scratching the chair and chewing its edge (she NEVER has chewed the furniture) and I had to talk sharply to her to get her to stop. Later, Steve stepped in a spot in the hallway where White Dog had some kind of "accident", We are puzzled over whether White Dog isn't feeling well or whether these behaviors are solely driven by ennui.
