        <description><![CDATA[My husband thinks our 9 month old lab mix might be depressed. I'm not sure. We've had her nearly 3 months now and she had her first heat about 2 months back.<br /><br />
She is fine in the evenings, can still get excitable, she's very active on walks, would eat everything if we let her and can still be quite snugly and playful.<br /><br />
That being said, she seems to be sleeping a lot more than usual. She keeps to her bed for quite a lot of the day. She doesn't always come running to greet us when we come back into the room like she used to, especially in the mornings, she generally seems to have less energy and she gets bored of playing with her toys a lot quicker.<br /><br />
I'm thinking that she is just getting older and settling down. My husband did suggest she might be getting bored of her toys so I'm planning on getting her new ones today.<br /><br />
I was wondering at what ages did people find their dogs start coming out of the puppy phase? Or, if they got an older dog did it take about 2 -3 months for them to properly settle in the new home?]]>
