Having always had a soft heart regarding most.....I say “most” animals, going on record and taking a stand regarding animal cruelty/abuse, it was most difficult to remove a “steward” from my new household. Over several weeks, my German Shepherd aka “The Madam” has been acting quite differently than in the past. I had noticed that whenever the “steward” was around, she abruptly put me between herself and him. First assumption was the new surroundings, her getting accustomed to being moved all too frequently. True, this type of change can and will affect an animal's behavior. Still! It was puzzling.
