She knows me since my parents got her. I never lived with them, though. Sometimes she’s playful and loving and other times she’s angry and trying not to let me into the house.

    Not expert, just adopted my first big dog, year old labradoodle who wasn’t getting enough time from his previous family - they had two kids and then had twins and right now he needs a lot of attention and training which they didn’t have the bandwidth for. Wonderful people though and they did the right thing finding us. He has a few barking and playing-too-rough-with-the-tiny-chihuahua-and-cats issues we are figuring out, but overall it’s always clear where it’s coming from when he’s misbehaving and he’s a good loving dog in the end. He’s also only been here slightly more than a month and I’m told it takes three before they’re really settled, so we have high hopes.

    Is this when your parents aren’t home? Or when they’re around? Could mean different things. Some dogs tend to be one-person dogs who tolerate those who live with them and have no interest in anyone else. Breeds affect this kind of thing too.

      both, when they’re around or gone. She lives with my parents ever since she was a puppy. Some days she really enjoys my company as if nothing ever happened.

      Good luck and times with your new friend!!

        Sounds like she’s just an old grumper. Good luck reasoning with her to you as well :>
