My dog, Suki, is normally the feistiest little bitch (it's techinically correct here) ever and doesn't like new people. As soon as they come in, she starts barking, and if they try to hold her, she snaps at them, starts shivering, and/or tries to get away.
That's why what just happened is sooooo weird. An old family friend just came to visit, and what shocked us all was that Suki didn't bark once AND even jumped into the friend's lap and sat there for a while, calm as ever. It's the first time she's ever done anything like that. She still doesn't even like my dad.
I've always heard that dogs are smart and they can tell when people like them, but I never thought it applied to chihuahuas--they're mean as hell to everyone. Our friend is at med school studying to become a pediatrician, she loves animals, and she's the gentlest, sweetest person ever. It's weird, but I think Suki picked up on that. I'm still in shock.
