second post in as many days...it's a steep learning curve!
Anyone got any ideas about a funny incident that happened yesterday?
I came downstairs after a shower, probably looking and smelling a little different (in bathrobe, wet hair etc) and our 10 wk old puppy - who has been with us for a week - began backing away and growling.
I wasn't worried initially and just spoke to her as I normally would and pottered about. After a few minutes we were alone in the room and it was obvious that she still didn't recognise me so I sat on the floor a good way away, ignoring her and reading a book, and occasionally tossing a little treat her way.
After half an hour of this she approached and took a treat from my hand, gave me a little lick, and then skittered away again, still grumbling. So even after getting that close, she still didn't recognise me.
I then went and got dressed, dried my hair etc and got the usual welcome.
She often fails to recognise DH if he is wearing something different (suit, pyjamas, jeans etc) but then I pick her up and introduce her to him and she realises who he is.
Normal or a bit odd? Anything I can do to help her with this? Did I do something stupid to invite it?
