Maggie, we know all about those "sensitive ones" who are a bit frightened of strangers. We have one in the form of a Golden Retriever. It sounds like your family knows your "scary" moments and handles them quite well to me!! That's what I do. I just keep my Honey away when new people are here. No need to upset her, just like there is no need to upset you!!

I think you are darling!! And a beautiful girl!! Perfect as our Monday, Pet of the Day!!!
