This is more of a vent than anything 
Here lately Dusty has been driving me NUTS!!!! I don't know if its my pregnancy hormones he is sensing or what, but
Some of his irritating behavior is... breathing heavy! He will stand in front of me and do this heavy breathing/panting thing. It sounds like a raspy heavy HA, Ha, HA.
He has also been barking more, he will bark as soon as I let him outside in the morning for no reason, which of course then sets the other dogs off.
Howling in his crate, usually on the weekend early in the morning.
Picking on Skyler, he will stand with his head over Sky's back or do a kind of nip/push on him while whining. Which has occasionally lead to Sky snapping at him. He is also doing the same thing to the girls, to a lesser degree.
It doesn't help that at 36 weeks I am pretty uncomfortable and don't get much sleep anymore, then Dusty has to start misbehaving! There are days when I just get frustrated and put him outside for a couple of hours. I really hope he goes back to normal once the baby is born!
Oh and I haven't really changed any of the dogs routine, I still walk them for 1 mile everyday, though that will probably be stopping soon, its getting uncomfortable for me to walk that much. But they still get to run and play fetch in the yard.

Congratulations on your pregnancy btw
I am used to big slobbery, panting shelties. My favorite kind.
