I swear that Miss Anna Banana is going to need therapy! First it was the need to wean her "puppies" (you might recall the old baseball and various stuffies that became her pups after we had her spay...). So today the new behaviour is a sudden aversion to the side deck steps, which is a problem since that is the door we put both dogs out during the day. They go DOWN the steps to the yard, and do their business ... plus we then bring them in through the basement door when we're leaving for the day, which again requires her going down the steps.
I noticed this morning that she was not keen to go down when my husband was at the basement door calling her, but with some coaxing from me, she went.
Tonight however? No go. I even stood at the bottom (in the rain, I might add), patting Sheba and crooning "good dog" which would normally set off a jealous run from Anna.
She was quite distressed and would not come down. I brought her in the side door and didn't make her come down. She hasn't fallen down them or anything, so we can't figure it out.
Anyhow...anoth er novel from Sandy and Anna. Holy cow. I love her but she is a dog with issues!
