Bella, too, is scared of most everything. It seems she thinks the world and everyone in it is out to do her harm. Very few people are allowed to pet her but she'll reluctantly come for a treat, only to run off as soon as she snatches it. She loves other dogs and for the most part, behaves really well with them. Although she won't stand for any dog to sniff her rear.
The hardest part with her is 1) she still has accidents at 3 years old and 2) sometimes when going outside, she gets on one of her paranoid kicks and won't potty even tho she has to. She'll start spinning/turning then stop and start all over. It gets irritating when it's cold or raining, which I'm sure she picks up on.
My bf jokes that Bella has multiple personalities. Which sometimes, it seems like she does. She'll be fine and chilling out, then the next second, she's freaking out. She's getting better, but still has her days when I'm at my wits end with her. |
