Susie, your little guy sounds just like my little girl. Gosh, I guess I won't take it personally any more. I couldn't figure out why she acted like I was poisoning her or going to smack her when I give her a treat. I thought that was really weird but I have had her since she was 2 months and she started that weirdness a couple of years ago (she is 5 now) but she is very loving and sweet. She just has a couple of strange things she does, that includes the song and dance at mealtimes (she acts like she has a personal vendetta again her food bowl)...funny. She also grows at bedtime, every time I take her to bed but never bites. I just ignore it. I think it is just her thing.

One you can move anywhere and no complaints. The other, a rescue that was scheduled for euthenasia, is something else. I 've had him for 10 yrs now and he still growls if you go to move him in or out of bed. He still checks every treat as tho I was poisoning him and goes thru a whole song and dance with his food dish before he starts eating. He jumps back , sneaks up on it , jumps back again etc. He growls when I put his harness on-no matter how much training I've done with him and how gentle I am that just seems to be ingrained in him. He will also "snap" but it's a fake he never bites, ever.
