So, Tani is (ahem) perfect. She is really smart, doesn't chew stuff or pee in the house, has good manners, etc. She is the best dog ever in the whole world. Here's what's happening...We are moving to California in about 2 weeks. Most of the house is a maze of boxes and of course it's a weird and stressful vibe around here. In addition, hubby and I got this house as a fixer upper, and since the move kinda came out of nowhere, we weren't done fixing 'er up. Not only is all our stuff packed and all that, but I have had contractors and handymen in and out of here regularly to finish all the projects so we can sell the house. Tani is great - she will bark her head off when they come to the door and act like she wants to eat them. Then, I let them in and show her that they are allowed here, and she's cool. She wants to lick them and play and she's just herself. Even the stale bum sweat smelling guys that made me so uncomfortable that were here recently (having a low income is not a good excuse for not bathing and then cashing your day's wages at amscott and going to the bar). But, she was ok with those guys. So now there is another guy here. He is clean, shows up on time, his vehicle is newish, clean and well maintained, he wears headphones and whistles while he's working and blasts through the stuff we have to do. There is nothing overtly objectionably about this guy - he's polite, pleasant, professional and just does his thing. I've never left him alone in the house or anything. Funny thing is, Tani hates his guts. She stands back and growls at him with her hackles semi-up. She won't come near him. If I call her to me, she gets all stressed if he is in the way, and as soon as he moves, she'll scamper a WIDE arc around him with her TAIL TUCKED and everything, and run over to me!! It's so strange...Shou
ld I worry that he's going to make a skin suit out of me? Should I see if I can catch a glimpse of a "666" tattoo on his head? I don't get it. Is she stressed about all the changes here, or is this guy some kind of sicko and she's trying to tell me? I'm over thinking it and getting all paranoid. If it weren't for Tani's behavior, I would totally feel comfortable with the guy - enough to leave him here alone while I run an errand or something. Opinions? Anyone? Anyone? Did anyone read this far?? Helllooooooooo
ooooo......
