My little old grumpy shelter dog

makes the basset hound and my husband stand up and walk over to me, whenever I enter a room. If they don't, she bites them. My husband doesn;t really get upset with her because he appreciates how protective she is of me.
We call it 'praise the mommy' and it's very funny.

 

I don't fully understand what you are describing, but appreciate that is it nice to have rituals.

 

It sounds pretty clear to me. That must be hilarious.

 

It's so funny, I see how the term 'bitch' became slang. She is such a little bitch! The other dog is afraid to walk by her. My mom's terrified of her. No more cattle dog mixes, unless they have cows to heard.
You guys have a lot of cattle dogs out there; don't you?

 

If people don't stand up to greet me, when I go through a doorway, she bites them.
It's a weird ritual. Families are weird. i always swore when I was a kid, that mine wouldn't be, but we're so fucking weird.

 

We Have a Blue Heeler.. we also have four chihuahua/ mini-pincher mutts.. Lets just say she's got her cows to herd. Until they got sick of her shit. they still dont get along..
