Fake Fear?~~vent~~

Staci i am in agreement with the other's i would confront her on this, but in a very nice tactful way, for example, i might say are you afraid of Keegan,?or you seem a bit uneasy around Keegan, is there a reason for that, you seemed ok with her before, has something happened to scare you? anyhow along those lines, i know you will find the right words to say when the time comes, but hey if it is really bothering you, say something and clear the air.,there might well be a simple explanation.

I would not judge her too harshly,there may well be some reason, and it might not be that she was sucking up in the beginning,you will never know unless you ask eh?

I would just casually tell her that was no need to fake likeing your dog before marriage, it makes her look like a fake how her attitude has changed... "Hummmm.. makes me wonder now.... do we even know the real YOU? What else did you fake?"

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.

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.
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.
