Thanks guys. I think I'm going to hold tighter from now on. Layla LOOOVVEEESSS people so she gets all excited and her ears go up and down- so maybe people think this is an invitation? I'm used to no one asking to pet her (although- to my surprise- the people who ask MOST often- are children- at least soemone is teaching them right!). In the future i'll go with- she is not comfortable with strangers holding her. I mean- no one goes to pick up a german shepherd- why should they assume they can pick up Layla? And she DOES become a squiggly worm when she is excited which is just a recipe for disaster if someone is not used to holding her. I am definitely going to be more prepared next time.
