as you guys know i have that foster chi lol. and he's a handful and we are trying to rehabilitate him over his fear of strangers and resource guarding. we're actually making decent strides on both counts.
But the question i pose, is do any of you have a pain in the butt chi? Duke has some serious attitude sometimes. And where as salem is generally attitude free except for the " you want me to come to you? pfffftttt *wanders away*".Duke on the other hand. is a warner. He growls and tells you that he doesn't like something. although he picks random things to not like at any given time. I don't mind warning growls, in fact i prefer them to just eating me lol. but i just wanted to know if anyone else had a chi that was just a cranky butt. I'm kinda trying to see if this is tied in with his other "issues" or if there are just some chi's out there that are a pain lol.
an example, sometimes i can grab him, and flip him on his back like a baby for cuddles and scritches, most of the time, he's dandy he loves it and falls asleep, or tucks his head under my chin. Once in awhile he growls at me, no teeth just a note to me that he dun like this. I'm perfectly capable of realizing that maybe he just doesn't wnat that right now, its just hard to gauge mr grumpy pants. Sometimes i go to put him off my lap and he'll growl, but he wanted down anyway, just didn't want to be put down ( yea my bad let the dog get off onhis own lol ) and sometimes when we go to go outside, i pick him up ( so kira doesn't run him over), he growls. also randomly while petting. he doesn't like kira, but i think thats a size thing, so i don't know how much is brought on by his anxiety about her.
i dunno i rambled as i am known to do ?
