I feel she would do anything to please me. I want to take her to CA to see how she does and for only a short visit (3 days) at Mom's, to see how she does. Eventually, I'd love for my grandsons to meet her, and I think she does well with kids, at least she did last Saturday with all the people around.Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07015770616281528620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760293429495313618.post-711552332016587132009-10-31T11:35:32.526-07:002009-10-31T11:35:32.526-07:00Thank you Marcella, I sure hope she does warm up t...Thank you Marcella, I sure hope she does warm up to him. She seems to go in spurts, but is noticeably more nervous around him, than with me. We hope to take her out together today to a pet friendly area where we adopted her a week ago. Maybe have lunch down there and just walk and enjoy the day. We'll stop by Petsmart to get her a hard rubber bone...Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07015770616281528620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760293429495313618.post-45257183640907806592009-10-31T09:49:59.125-07:002009-10-31T09:49:59.125-07:00Maybe she just needs time to adjust to her new lif...Maybe she just needs time to adjust to her new life and needs to learn to trust him. Shelby's personality has totally changed since she came here three months ago. She is quite a character now. She just needed time to learn to trust us and to figure us out. She is terrified of kids and has nipped at three of my grandkids. I think if she was around them more (they live out of state), she would learn to trust them too. The spinning could be just excitement, or maybe an obsession if she does it for too long or too often. Shelby was leery of my husband at first. He gave her space and eventually she warmed up and now she goes crazy when he comes home. (she still likes me best.....grin...) Your little girl probably just needs time to adjust to her new home, and life.mickeydeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246405675741780214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760293429495313618.post-4267671207916984342009-10-31T01:17:14.964-07:002009-10-31T01:17:14.964-07:00Time and patience and I'm sure she will warm t...Time and patience and I'm sure she will warm to your husband. We got our dog Couch from the refuge at 6 months of age and he had an inate fear of garden hoses. When they were unattended he chewed them up but when you held one he cowered and backed away. We feel that he must have often been beaten with a garden hose as a pup. He will now stand near you when you are hosing the garden but it took a long time to gain his confidence. Your husband may be a similar shape or something to some past bad experience. Just be kind and patient and I'm sure she will come around in the end.Marcellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452700583387232923noreply@blogger.com
