Our Ray is being a bit of a subdued dude at the moment, and we have no idea why.
Our weather is rather erratic so perhaps he is responding to varying air pressures? We have a couple of storms heading our way so perhaps he is already sensing them?
He has shown a distinct lack of enthusiasm to go anywhere and, even yesterday, appeared to come out with us (for his walk!) rather reluctantly. Fortunately, his “bodily functions” seem normal and, as far as we know, he hasn’t eaten anything peculiar so we are at a bit of a loss!
We’ll give him a few more days to sort himself out and then, if no change, I think it will be time to steal some of his blood and see if anything is amiss there.
A New Direction Perhaps? 
It could be a weather thing. Maggie is sensitive to pending storms but tends to get anxious rather than subdued. She’s a little tired lately, and stiff in her back joints, but the weather here has been damp and cold, so that could be it. Like you, we are keeping a careful eye on her to make sure she’s OK. Hope Ray picks up soon. ❤

That’s about all we can do at the present. Just keep an eye on him. 🙂

Feeling the same way. Yesterday was close to 80 degrees, today it’s in the mid 50s. Seriously Mother Nature, make up your mind! I least I can do my “business” indoors. Poor Ray!

We’ve been having some extremes as well so that could be it. 🙂

I imagine that he’ll be fine soon, but it is a little worrying.

The only thing I can think of that might have these symptoms is Tick Bite Fever, but I’m sure you’ll take Ray to the vets if he doesn’t pick up.

He shouldn’t be having tick issues, but he’ll certainly be going to the vet if he doesn’t pick up soon.

It’s that “time lag” thing between when everything is done and the publisher still hasn’t put the darn book out yet. First time authors. I feel ya, Ray.

I hadn’t thought about that. Perhaps he knows a lot more than we give him credit for? 🙂

Wow – a little concerning. Hopefully it’s the weather or just Ray being a a little moody. He’s entitled, right? Take care and keep us posted.

Yes he is entitled to have “off days”… just not too many of them. 🙂

Hope he snaps out of it quickly. This sort of malaise has happened to my dogs now and then.
