She Only Looks Sweet

Yeah - she looks like a good, sweet puppy.

BUT

She just snapped (and I mean really snapped) at Aunt Barbie.

I feel like the parent of a bully whenever she misbehaves (she's notoriously dominate aggressive with other dogs). Barbie was just petting her tummy sweetly, which Molly usually loves. I feel so inadequate as a dog parent.

I made a vet appointment for her on Monday because this isn't typical behavior.

Molly did try to go up to Barbie soon after the incident, to apologize and she also wrote Aunt Barbie this poem (not a great poem, but hey - she's a dog):

I'm sorry, so sorry
I love you, Aunt Barbie.

I'm Molly, grumpy doggy
Didn't mean to, give you a nubby.

You fed me chicken, I liked the chicken
Didn't mean to, bite you like chicken.

I'm sorry, so sorry
Please forgive me, Aunt Barbie.

Your face, I kiss it, kiss, kiss
But I promise not to look like this:

  1. I forgive you, Molly...even if you did try to eat me like chicken! XOXO

    P.S. I love your poem!

  2. The win-win here is to have all employees participate in a class on submissive behavior (I hear ACC has online courses) Good for Molly AND Stephanie!

    Alternatively, people can just wear CK's new Eau de Beouf perfume.

  3. First off, she's so cute!

    Sometimes dogs are aggressive if they're tired or not feeling well. Or, if a person touches an area that is sensitive to them. My dog will endure just about anything, but if he's tired and you try to play with his feet, he'll snap too.

  4. Molly is fed up with you guys and wants to retire to a beach in Mexico - that is the real message here. Not sure how you missed that. Wonder if she will have a guest bedroom we can stay in if we want to visit her.
