Hehe Sometimes they take a while to decide it's all cool.

I've had visitors with two dogs here a couple of times this week, the
two girls make themselves scarce as usual. But then Lucy will always
eventually slowly make her way back out... and eventually basically
display utter contempt for what to her are noisy, boisterous crude
beasts. She makes a point of telling any strange dogs that this is
*her* place.
