My bf and I went to Portland over the weekend where we stayed with his brother and his family. I tried sleeping inside with Betti in the living room, but their cat was outside crying to come in and Betti was restless, so at 3am I took her out to the car where I finally slept. The next morning when I was sitting in a chair in the living room reading, Chris and his brother came in the front door. Betti completely flipped out. She let out a loud bark, then she ran with her ears tucked back, slinking along the ground like a rocket and shot up into the chair and tunneled behind me. She sat shaking visibly for about twenty minutes. For the most part she is confident, but every once in a while there is a situation that is unexpected like that and she runs behind mommy for protection.
