Is she coming into season? One of my bitches changes behaviour quite drastically when she is, and 8 months is about average for her first heat.

She's been such a lovable and fun puppy to watch grow. Recently, however, her behavior has changed. She used to hang out in the living room & play with her toys, try to jump on the couch (which I was attempting to train her not to do) & sleep in her bed that was out in the living room as well. Now, she has no desire to be out in the living room. The only time she plays is if you play with her. She would rather be in her kennel in the bedroom then in the bed she used to lay in out in the living room. If I close the door to the bedroom off, she will just lay in the hallway or on the bathroom rug. I feel as if she is being "anti-social" -- Is there a reason why she would suddenly change like this? It only began this week after we returned back from Thanksgiving Vacation (she came along too, so it's not as if we left her behind & alone). I have an older chi who is 10 years old as well and she stays out in her bed and loves to be around us... Why would this puppy be acting like this? When I go to find her ...she is usually by herself, not getting into trouble, & shivering. Thanks for your thoughts.
