Maybe you could get a blown up, life-size picture of NW for Keegan to *practice* on ...
With a little work, the BRD could prolly manage a *dash*, *gnash*, and *BARK*
to give NW a REAL complex!
:D

I'm sorry Keegan! I'm still new around here....can't keep my boys and girls straight! Heck, half the time I call Boomer a she and Cassie a he!! You are a beautiful lady, and I can't imagine ANYONE not wanting to be around you!!!!!
keegan is perfect. i agree, next time she does the "fearful" thing, ask her if anything has changed in the last year (BTW keegan really is perfect;))
If I were you at the next get together I'd handle a bunch of raw meat then go over to the woman and give her a huge hug-wiping the meat scent all over her.
The dog wouldn't leave her alone, she'd freak out and never come back.
I did that with an old GF.
Same thing with non-cat people-but you have to have fresh fish in the fridge when they show up!:confused::eek::rolleyes:
She sounds like an attention seeker to me - do people react when she starts her "routine"?
Don't let the silly woman get to you - she's not worth wasting the energy
Red flags would be going up for me as well, but I wouldn't waste my energy confronting her. She might just be one of those people who know how to get your goat. Then when you respond, she complains to new hubby about his niece who was *so rude to her*.
What she says about Keegan, it a non-issue. It holds no weight with anybody now that we have a inkling of the type of person she is. What you do care about is your relationship with your uncle and out of love and respect for him, I would think it best to be polite and cordial, but that is all. If you want to address the issue once out of concern (albeit feigned), fine, but do it with care as you would with a friend.
Another vote for confronting her. Simply ask why the change from last year.
As for Keegan - she's a love, pure and simple. I'm getting the impression that NW is not.
Thank you for all your support everyone. :)
:love::love:
I am just glad that no one thought I had an issue with someone who does have a deep fear of dogs. A phobia. For whatever reason. I don't understand it but then again but then again it is no different than people who have a fear of snakes, spiders etc. While I might not like those type of pets, I know there are people that do, just like my dog. :)
I dunno - they've been together for about 3 years total, and I never got a malicious vibe out of her. Even her present reaction with Keegan, isn't malicious and doesn't SEEM manipulative. No one pays her any mind when she acts the way she does. Unlike my dad's cousin's wife, who can't stand dogs, she CONSTANTLY wipes her hands on her pants when Keegan is around and walks around with this upturned nose like she stepped in a big pile of rotting poo. Now THAT action makes me want to PUSH her in a pile of rotting Poo. ;) :p
New Wife - doesn't give me that vibe. I'll keep you all posted on how the situation progresses, and again I appreciate ALLLLLLL the insight.
AND the compliments on my Big Red Dog.:love::love::love:
