Vegas has become more aggressive with age. He use to be the submissive bulldog that would play with all dogs at the park. But once he was diagnosed with epilepsy and they started pumping him full of drugs.....he changed. Talk to anyone who gives their dogs seizure meds.....they will say "I want my old dog back". I'm no different. It sucks to have to say "I remember when......"
Basically....when people come over, Vegas has to be kenneled. He gets too excited. He's too powerful. He's too anxiety ridden. And he can nip. The epilepsy has changed him. Vegas (up until the age of 3 or 4) was the sweetest cuddle bug and sweetest dog. Now I don't trust him enough to let people walk up and pet him. Better to be safe than sorry. People have met him and been okay. [MENTION=3123]agingermom[/MENTION] and her hubby Dean didn't get eaten alive by him. But I was on guard and told them to be careful. He never nips out of aggression.....in fact, I don't think he's aggressive in the slightest. I think the seizures have altered his brain and the meds have altered his reasoning.
