Sad

So, it is strange how things happen. We have a two year old German Shepherd that I have cursed since the day we brought him home. He is sweet and an excellent dog, he LOVES people and is pretty obedient, but very high energy and with two kids to worry about I just don't have time for him as well. But, my husband loves him and Mariah LOVES him and I guess that is really what matters. Well, the strangest thing has happened. On Friday night I was coming up the stairs headed for bed and he was standing at the top of the stairs watching me. So when I got to him I playfully grabbed his muzzle and said, "Hi Roman." And immediately he starts growling at me and the hair on his neck went straight up (that is never good) and he turned and took off running to Rob. As I walked in the room he kept growling. Rob got onto him and put him away and we sat and tried to figure out what could be wrong. Well, every day since he won't come near me almost like he is scared of me. And if we make him come over and I try to pet him he starts growling. It is so weird!! So we call our dog trainer and he is going to come over but, he also told Rob that he has never heard of such a thing and he told Rob that he just wanted to prepare him for the fact that we may have to put him to sleep. And suddenly I find my self SOSO Sad!! Sad for my husband who LOVES Roman, sad for my children who love Roman, Sad for Roman who may be loosing his life, but strangely enough sad because I don't want to see him go. All along I thought I didn't like him that much but I cry when I think of him being gone. And you know it actually hurts my feelings when he won't come near me or let me pet him. It is all just so strange!
