Pain aggression in dogs – Pet tip 257
Unfortunately the following two scenarios occur from time to time: You’re innocently petting your cat or dog when all of a sudden your pet bites you. The same reaction can happen when you pick up your cat or dog the way you always do, when all of a sudden it bites you. What is going on here? Your pet NEVER bites you, and now that you are trying to show it some love, it bites you. Has your pet gone mad? What might be going on here is pain induced aggression.
It seems so obvious after you bring your pet to a veterinarian to figure out what is going on, but it may be as simple as pain induced aggression. Pain induced aggression means that your pet has exhibited an aggressive behaviour because it is in pain. This is especially common in older pets that may be suffering from arthritis or perhaps one of their internal organs is bruised or diseased.

| Juniper: | NOUN: Any of various evergreen trees or shrubs of the genus Juniperus, having needlelike or scalelike, often pointed leaves and aromatic, bluish-gray, berrylike, seed-bearing cones. |
I had named you after the little Juniper tree in a fairy tale I had read as a child. The miniature tree who was made evergreen by the wind because it was one of the rare trees kind enough to protect a wounded bird through the dead of winter. My little friend, you were a fiesty handful as well and when I found out that Juniper berries were an important ingredient in gin production... I remembered thinking how apt it was and how instead of naming you, you were of that name already.
You are in a better place than me. And that is a balm I am grateful for.
I will miss you dearly, my little one. Your spring was short but what a lovely time it was.
