My friend has a 6 year old female Bichon who has been acting strangely for 2 weeks or so:
1. panting a lot, no matter the environment
2. Cuddlier than normal (this is odd)
3. Whimpering more often
4. Obsessing over and "bathing" favorite plastic toy
Does anybody have a clue of the cause?!

She is not in heat.

Sounds kind of like a dog that is having a false pregnancy.This isn't like a miscarrage but more like the mind telling the body it wants to be pregnant. if she starts nesting and her nipples swell and fill up that is probably what it is. She should probably see the vet as they somtimes need a hormone injection.

I ordered one of these, a double, at a Starbuck's. They did not have it.
Is the dog in heat????
If not, I'd suggest seeing her vet to see if there is a medical issue.
