My dad owns a small Schnauzer named Greta, who I've only recently become acquainted with within the past month or so. She's usually okay with me since I give her treats and things but I've begun to notice something strange...
She's terrified of me when I dress as a guy! Last night, while I was dressing up she poked her head in the bathroom and growled at me. When I reached out to pet her, she yelped and ran underneath my bed. She also acted scared the last time I dressed up.
My dad woke up and she jumped up on his chest and just sat there shaking and staring at me(I was then in my femme form) My dad kept asking what was wrong and even went searching through the house to find out what spooked her!
Now, I might be crazy, but I think that she didn't recognize my male persona and got frightened of the 'stranger' in the house!
Has anyone else had this problem with pets? Do you know of any way to allay poor little Greta's fears? I really didn't mean to scare her but feel somewhat validated in my new look by the fact that our dog apparently thought I was a man lol
