Going into heat was my first thought as well...so interested in hearing if she has been spayed or not :-) But it could simply be that she is just growing up, lol

I don't know if she's naturally evolved because of her age or if something else is going on?!? First of all she does have Luxating Patella in her one back knee. She has been having some cracking/popping noises in her left front shoulder too. And she will yelp if she jumps off the sofa, instead of using her sofa steps. She's a little over a year old, in good health otherwise and a tad fussy on her food at times. But she just doesn't seem to be herself lately. She's not as "cuddly" and she doesn't seem to follow me around as much. I guess you could say she's behaving more independently. (I feel unwanted) She's not as rambunctious as she was even just a couple weeks ago or so. She will play with you if you initiate playtime, she still likes to chase the kitties and will spend time in my lap when we're out visiting. She's definitely become much more "bossy" with other dogs too! It's funny because one of the Chihuahua's she normally plays with is about a year older and has turned into the biggest Mama's Boy/Suck you've ever seen. Are females just more independent? Has she left her youth, so to speak, and has now entered her rebellious teen years? Any ideas??
