Today the phone guy came to fix an issue with my home phone. It went out Wednesday.
He comes to the door (and had been warned that there was a Rott in the house) and Grace let him in. I held her till he was settled and they got along ok. He pet her head and I gave him a bone to give her to make them friends. We were fine. He explained he had to go to a box outside here and one up the road and was almost ready to go back outside and do his thing. Well, Grace had other ideas. He had slipped one hand into a pocket and Grace went off on him. To me, she was saying "Give me another bone, dumb dumb." to him, she said "Die you nut job, Die!" she was loud, but her stub was going a mile a minute.
I quietly told him he was hiding his hands. I've never seen anyone jerk his hands out of his pocket before.
He came back a while later and when he came in I made Grace sit like i did the first time he came in and she was fine with him.
No wonder i have no visitors. Grace just loves to bully people. Other people I've had over get have gotten along fine with Grace. Maybe she was trying to tell him to sit and stay a while too.
