Why does charlie sometimes shakes (like shivering) when i get home? He starts jumping to greet me and he’ll shake. He then almost always runs to get a toy. I’ve noticed this only happens when I get home and I spent a lot of time out?

Some dogs shiver when they are very excited, others when scared, others for medical reasons. If Charlie is excited to see when you get home and is jumping to great you, I suspect the shaking is due to his excitement!
