A friend brought her 2 year old over to swim. Mia has played with this little girl before and usually showers her with kisses. Mia is obsessed with her blue ball, and while we were in the pool this little girl kept taking it from her. Eventually she would return it.
While I was preparing dinner I heard some scuffle and a weird noise from Mia, like a growl. When I came over to investigate the mother said Mia snapped at her. It totally surprised me. 5 minutes later she did the same thing. I put her in her crate for some safe time out. Things settled down after that, then.
Later after dinner Mia was sitting on my lap, the little girl came up and rested her head on the foot stool near me. Mia moved towards her and snapped into the air, near this child's face. (3 or 4 inches away) and let out the snarl growl sound.
So now what? Mia has never showed any sort of aggression ever before. My grand daughter is coming for a visit for 3 weeks this summer and she is only 1! OMG what to do?? Any advice would be appreciated.
