Fake Fear?~~vent~~

[Cinder & Smoke]

I'll admit - a 110 pound dog running at you full force barking her fool head off -
would be intimidating.
But in my uncle's wife's case - that has never happened.

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!

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!

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

nope - no one even pays attention to her when its my dog. Not sure how people react when its my cousin's dog or other peoples.

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.
