Are your animals acting weird?

.My dogs have both pee'd on my hospital bag, and by the doors for the past couple days. They're both potty trained, 4 and 9 years old. We take them out all the time so i can't imagine they have to go. I know i may be giving them too much credit but i think they know were having the baby this week. Im getting my induction date today. They seem to be acting a little off. Is this happening to anyone else, or ever heard of such a thing?

    I have two dogs. My bichon frise is a female and has been acting VERY clingy the last few weeks. She always wants to sit on my lap and follows me everythere. My yorkie, who is a male, has pee'd in the house about five times since we set all the baby stuff up in the nursury. He is really good about peeing in the house so this is very unusual for him... Also in the last couple of weeks he has been acting very possessive of me. He even barks when my husband comes near me which is really weird because he loves my husband... I definitely think they know something is up!

    Some people say that pets can sense when a big change is coming.

    My dog was super clingy with me yesterday and was acting really mopey and depressed. It bummed me out.

    My female dog has been really clingy and cuddly lately. She did this back in early pregnancy as well. My male dog has been acting normally.

    I'm 37 weeks + 1 and my year old lab/mastiff is being a HUGE suck... he wants to be with me all the time.  He is moping around the house and just being very unusual for him... he got a little upset when we set up the nursery furniture but he seemed to get over it quickly.  Now he's turned into a big suck who is literally ripping apart all of his toys to pieces. =( I wonder if he knows something we don't.

    My dogs both 6 years have been peeing in the house too - especially their beds - which is weird.  I've kept the door to the baby's room closed because I don't want them sneaking in there and raising a leg on the crib or anything.  I'll be interested to see how they behave after the baby is born.

    My dogs are always super clingy. Always following me around, sitting on my feet while I use the bathroom, waiting for me at the shower.

    One does seem super whiny lately though.

    We have 2 cats and one has always been clingy towards me and the other towards DH.  Lately, both kitties have been giving me much more attention and when I am laying down they come up and snuggle up to and/or on my belly.  They definitely know something is going on.

    Our Maltese will not leave me alone.  Always on my lap and stomach and follows me everywhere, including the bathroom and tried to get into the shower with me.  He pooped in the nursery (sigh).

    Our dogs are driving me NUTS! If its not the one being super clingy, they both are acting out...one woke me up crying and wanting to be snuggled two nights ago, whimpering for no reason, took him outside twice that night and nothing...the other one puked her dogfood on my freshly changed cream duvet cover this morning...

    Yes, my 7 yr old female pit bull has been super clingy, nervous and has anxiety. I don't know how to soothe her and sometimes it's plain infuriating. She follows me everywhere, is constantly underfoot. I can't sneak to the bathroom in the middle of the night because of her. She sleeps practically on top of me. She shivers all the time. She's great with kids, so I don't know wtf is her problem right now. I think she senses my hormones or something. I know she thinks I smell different because sometimes she will practically pin me down on the bed and sniff my boobs. I just hope she relaxes after the baby gets here...

    Mine are the opposite. My male dog always wants to be around me and cuddle lately, and my female dog is acting normal.

    Yes Lexie has been up my butt, more then usual. Not sure if it is because I have been working from home or if she suspects something. DH and I have been sleeping downstairs on the couch because our bed kills me, and I woke up the other night at 2am to Lexie awake sitting right next to the couch in front of me, like guarding me. She has been extra lovey with DH too. I think she has a hunch that life is about to change up in our household lol!

    My 1.5 yr lab is acting STRANGE, just kinda stands and stares at us, can't sit and relax, paws at the door to go outside but then resists to go out when we open the door...I'm so confused! Maybe it's because we put him in the hideous halloween costume..

    I have 2 labs.  One of them is always in my face (even when I'm not pregnant), and the other one usually could care less about things.  My clingy lab is even more clingy now and needs to follow me into the bathroom when I go to the bathroom (every 20 minutes), and she even peaks her head around the shower curtain to see me shower.  

    The other lab is showing the most change... she usually could care less about cuddling and being close.  She now follows me everywhere and wants to snuggle all of the time.  I am loving it, so it doesn't bother me... but I hope she doesn't get too sad when Anna arrives and we can't cuddle as much.   I know the books say to ignore them before baby arives... but I am just eating up all this canine affection.
