behavioral issue? let me start off saying back about 6 months ago, my two females got into a fight over some babies...gidget tore open lil girls mouth and lil girl damaged gidgets eye permanently.
me and gidget have become really close, i was devasted when she got hurt and cried for days...and we are just close buddys now, if i get the chance to run to the store alone i take her, i take her to my parents occassionally and her and teddy now sleep in the bed (lil girl sleeps under the bed)
well about a month ago early one morning my husband leaned over and popped me on the hiney to say see ya tonight..well gidget and teddy kind of attacked him a little...growling and barking and she actually bit him a little..i thought it was funny at the time she is my little protector..i even posted a thread about it..well she stayed mad about it for 2 weeks i guess because any time he leaned over me on the bed she was get upset making nosies and snipping a little at him..she has this high pitch bark/cry she does..but she is loving towards him any time before that and after he lays down...well things cleared up, then me and my husband were playing in the kitchen and i guess she thought he was being mean or something and she was tearing up his leg..but she never really hurts him...no breaking skin at all....so she was mad at him again this week.
well i wasnt really concerned until this morning, my son whose almost 5 came to me on the sofa to hug me and say good morning..she was laying next to me on the sofa..when he came towards me she got in the middle and was snapping and barkin at him...i told her stop and pushed her away
any ideas whats going on...im guessing we bonded really closely and she is taking it to extreme? what things can i try to make her feel more comfortable around people coming towards me?
its all been within the last month that she has changed up like this..we got teddy in june..but she seems to like him alot..they cuddle and play together all the time (gidget is 3 and teddy is 6 mo) but they do get jealous of each other but never in a rough way do they express it..just trying to get to me first and pushing each other down =) |
