:OMG!:
Now, let's just preface this with a description of JilliBean my new retiree- She is the sweetest dog, quite shy and not confident at all. She is very food driven ( which is very different then my other 2 tiny dogs). She is non confrontational, she has met strangers out and about in the stroller and not had any bad reactions to any people, she plays well with the other dogs and my cats, she loves my 11 yr old grandson who was here all of last weekend and she LOVES outdoors running and chasing the guinea fowl is her favorite thing BUT JilliBean does not like my neighbor!
This is the same neighbor who refuses to spay and neuter her cats ( another thread of mine) and I am frustrated that she is so irresponsible.
Here is the story, Linda (the neighbor) comes over at about 7:30 PM to return $20 that she borrowed 8-10 months ago. She is wearing a scanty tied up Daisy Mae blouse, a push-up bra, capri pants ( slightly tight) and 4 inch heels.....doesn't everyone ( aged 49) pop over to their neighbors in such an outfit?:smpullhair: She only wears such outfits when my hubby is home.
Anyway during her brief visit I got into it with her about the cats....that they are spraying all over my fences and barn. They have
No shots, no spaying/neutering, I told her she was completely irresponsible . She shugged and said she doen't believe in it. I was so angry but my husband motioned to drop it, its useless. She went on to complain about her adult kids and the drama in her life ( which we don't care about- its just too bizarre) Hubby offered her an iced tea or coke and she asked " do you have any drink drinks?" meaning alcohol. Reluctantly hubby made her a Khalua and milk.
During this interaction the dogs are present. They must have picked up the negative vibes. As she was leaving she came to the rear of the couch and Jilli was standing up next to me on the couch. She tried to pet Jilli's head and Jilli snapped at her. She didn't bite her and she didn't growl or give any warning. It shocked me as we never saw a Malt act hostile.
I can't say as I disagree with Jilli- I wanted to bite her too.
I am concerned that Jilli had this response I will have to read up on yet another subject- and deal with another behavior modification. It makes you wonder what dogs can sense..........
