SH,
No wonder you love that little guy so much -- what a beautiful dog.
I have had something similar lately relating to irritability and anger as O decribes about Tony in a way (in my way of thinking anyway).
I dont even know I am angry until something sets me over the edge and I blow up.
I had the same thing after my heart surgery and now I just think that I am so angry under the surface about my friend's death but I dont show it and then kaboom.
I truly do not feel angy and then watch out.
I know it will go away, but in the meantime, not fun and I feel guilty as this is not my MO.
