Annie does not like other dogs and is leery of strangers coming in, but we
usually put her in her crate until she becomes accustomed to them being
there, like workmen etc. When the flooring man was putting new flooring in
the bathroom, he kept coming back and bugging her, trying to pet her etc.
She finally nipped him, and he still came back, until I finally said JUST
LEAVE THE DAMNED DOG ALONE! LOL
