When non-dog lovers come to your home...

Spazzy

when he picked it up and came closer to her she smacked him on the nose.

Okay, if anyone EVER did this to either of my dogs there would be a serious throw down!! Whether the dog was physically hurt or not, no one should ever lay their hands on them in any way other than a loving way..... I would probably react before thinking and that would be it. I guess it's that maternal instinct...

As far as company goes, whenever we have company the girls do get over excited, jumping and begging for attention - probably because we *don't* have company very often. Fortunately, the people that I do have over like dogs and are really nice about it. Once company sits down, Abbie is usually the first to find her way to their lap and it's never been a problem. If someone doesn't care for my dogs, they don't have to come over to our house, we can visit elsewhere.

When the pizza delivery person or a repair person comes over, I put them in my bedroom.
