Spoke too Soon, or a Case of The Anti-Dog Whisperer

[Susan, Coby & Chloe]

So after all these raves I had as a bragging mother, Bosco went on a complete rampage last night! Not only did he tear through the living room (a no-no zone) but he grabbed a sock that he simply would not relinquish, managed to escape our attempts at capture by ignoring all commands AND...he pooped in the dining room.  In all his 4 weeks here, he's never done that.

But -- wondering what you dog owners and pet whisperers think of this: I had an acquaintance visiting for the night, a "mystic/healer", but one who readily admitted she does not like puppies or children!  Bosco had gone to greet her when she arrived, a gentle greeting - no jumping, no bad behavior of any kind but Terra's response was one of cold indifference at best.

Any thoughts on if that could have possibly triggered Bosco's out-of-character reaction?  Or am I just being a bit of a mystic myself in sensing that connection?

True, Lin....we'll never know for sure, will we?
My son and DIL, both dog lovers, are coming in from the east coast for the long holiday wknd, first time meeting Bosco, so we'll see then how he behaves.
BTW, Yogi is a cutie-pie!

Thank you. Enjoy the weekend.
