Our hounds had to quickly adjust to a new routine and because of this you may have even noticed them acting differently. Maybe they were chewing on things they shouldn’t be, chewing more often, or became a bit more attached to you than they typically were. This could all be because they are trying to cope with the change in their lives, just like all of us are.
