Lenny, bless him, has lots of mental 'issues' regarding people and dogs outside and strangers coming inside our house, however with us he's fine - apart from one little thing. He seems to be very nervous of my OH in the mornings!

Its very strange but he runs away from him and cowers away from him if he tries to touch him. When he gets back in the afternoon of if he comes back for his dinner, Lenny is stuck to his side, won't leave him alone (unless his mummy is there of course :D ). This morning John went to stroke him and he backed into the corner and sat down, shaking :unsure:

The only thing I can think of is that usually John leaves for work before I am up so he leaves the dogs in bed and I get them up, fed and walked. But on mornings when he can finish later, like this morning, Lenny starts acting all weird. Do you think that because he doesn't see him very much in the morning that he is scared of him? He isn't like it at the weekend, just in the week.

Anyone else ever had a dog like this? (impossible surely :lol: there is only ONE Lenny). I think its one of those things that I'll never work out. One possibility is that he doesn't like Johns work uniform (only workmens clothes, not like a big chicken suit or anything (w00t) ).

Here's a picture of the weirdog himself

Ahhh.. he looks really sweet. :wub:

I'm no expert but maybe he doesn't like a change in routine. Our Dublin doesn't like me getting up in the morning cos I send him out for a wee with our other dog whilst my Husband leaves him lying in bed!!

He would lie there all day long -_-
 
Yeah you could be right there. Its not that often that John gets to leave later so perhaps Lenny just doesn't like the look of him in the morning - he sometimes scares me (w00t) only kidding!

Lenny thrives on routine and gets upset at other times of day if things change so I don't know why I didn't think of this :b
 
You will just have to send him out to work early every morning :D Only Kidding
 
Ha ha John has just sent me a text asking if I can cut his hair tonight cos he looks like a scarecrow - he must have known I was talking about him being scarey in the morning (w00t)
