Re: Is she just being grumpy?

Meg was on one side of the lounge, Ollie by me and the sofa, she started a low warning growl and Ollie looked at me as if to say “is that at me?” So I said nonsense to the room, and no need…she stopped growling and came and sat between me and ollie with her ears back, to which I acknowledged her with a face swipe. She calmed and went back to her side of the lounge and picked up her nylabone. All was ok until ash came down the stairs and then she didnt even bother with the growl, just came at him from under the table, pinned him against the sofa by his face, he screamed, i ignored, she backed off, then went straight back in, so I shouted “that will do” to the room, Ollie ran into kitchen and I called meg too me, face swiped and told her not to be silly. Do you think that maybe Ollie has stolen her bone when she has gone to greet ash before and she was telling him not to (in meg’s own special way). This has happened before tho without the bone being there and it is not particularly a high item. She shoves it in his face when she wants to play but he does steal it sometimes esp when she has got distracted by something! I tend to wait until she is back in the room and then take the bone off Ollie and give it back to her. Is it maybe Ash that she is trying to stop him getting too? Why did I get this dog…what did I do to deserve this…
