[Dailydrool] Dog gone nuts on me!

Dear Daily Drool folks..
Oh,I hope someone can tell me what has happened to my Daisy!  I think  I 
screwed up royally when I bought the MAXIMUM  dog food I mentioned this  week. at 
least I am hoping that is what is wrong. ( she started it on  Sunday.. it was 
mixed with her Purina Puppy Chow she has always had so I  don't know if that 
amount would cause this manic phaze or not.)  she was  doing so well, such a 
nice sweet dog, minimum barking, no more biting, stopping  the jumping up on 
folks ..really sweet and calm. then Tuesday  morning she woke up , I let her out 
as usual, putting her food and water out and  by 9am I had a dog I didn't even 
know! 
 
 I took her for her walk and it was a nightmare! she was HYPER to the  
maximum..the name of the food!  I have struggled with her behavior  since Tuesday. 
yesterday while I was watering out front she hit the back screen  door SO HARD 
she knocked off the child plate guard, broke the screening, the  tubing that 
holds it in is all hanging loose. I couldn't believe my  eyes!   I had played 
fetch with her for 45 minuets twice yesterday,  she never tired out as she 
usually does. she kept barking , kept going, came up  behind me and slammed into 
the back of my knees making me fall hard on the  grass. SINCE WHEN??? she did 
it again while I was picking up her "presents" in  the lawn. 
 
this is intolerable. she went on a barking spree that lasted three hours ,  
from late afternoon til early evening. I put her in her kitchen kennel at 7pm  
and she continued to bark for at least 45 minutes. I had to go outside, I  
couldn't stand it anymore. nor could I stand HER!  what the heck is going  on???
 
this morning I went to Walmart very early, I bought a  bag of Purina  One 
puppy food and fed her. so far she is much better today but we will find out  
this afternoon if that is what was wrong or not. now I know why there are rescue  
teams, I didn't understand before how anyone could not want these adorable 
dogs  but I do now!  
 
was it the food change do you think? it is like dealing with someone who is  
bi-polar..no warning, nothing. just all of a sudden absolutely crazy and  
hyper.  does she have worms or something? I see none and she was just  recently at 
the vets and was wormed again for good measure, I pray one of you  can help 
me out or there will be a rescue unit needed in southern Colorado. I  wont put 
up with this. it is a nightmare..truly.  Suzan Pulsifer  _suzabells at aol.com_
