Last Tuesday I posted a deal breaker. (see here) I thought I would post another one today.
Ok so here’s how it happened. I had this little party at my house. Everything was happy happy. My hors d’oeuvres were yummy. The games were fun! People were oohing and aahing over my dogs (because they rock and are so much fun!) and then this guy shows up and my little Duchess turns into like a super supreme mega beast guard dog. She would NOT let this guy come near me. When he was within 4 feet she growled. At arm’s length she gave a deep warning bark. When he almost TOUCHED me she snarled. Yet she was still like licklick-pleaseletmekissyou, iamsohappymytailisgoingtowagoff to everyone else.
The only other times she has been less than extremely friendly have been completely warranted (like when weirdos approach us in a park.) You should probably take my word for this but if you MUST have proof of her temperament you can watch this video – aw – they’re so precious!!!
Ok so I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t really know this guy. The other guests didn’t really know him either and I’m sure you can imagine what they thought of this dude after my incredibly playful, happyhappyjoyjoy dog turned snarling protective.
WHAT DO YOU THINK??

I think if one of MY dogs (who have really low-key, chill temperaments) doesn’t want someone near me then there very well may be a good reason, (even if I don’t exactly know why.) And you know what? I think if my dog doesn’t like you, I don’t like you.
And ScottPete says if my dog doesn’t like you, he doesn’t like you either. ![]()
Bad sign!!! Satin was the same way with my exhusband. She hated him and I ignored her. Glad you are taking the hint.
I think I have to agree, if your dog doesn’t like someone, then I don’t either! Mom
See, now this is why I carry bits of meat in pocket everywhere I go. It’s foolproof.
Wow, I’m supersmart. I deserve a medal.
