Thank you all for the support and advice. It scared me to death. Joey does NOT do this kinda stuff. It came as a total shock to me....

I also thought at the time that he was protecting me... But I don't know for sure.

I contacted a behavioral specialist for Doggies only, and her next session is in two weeks. It is a 4 week program - 2 times a week. It is especially for dogs with aggression/possesive personalities. She said that we can atleast make Joey accept her, whether he likes her or not is up to him!

*Fingers crossed* It is still early on in their relationship. I just have to hope he gets over this jealousy thing!

Thank you again! Kt and pups
