Over the weekend, I had a little mishap in the kitchen. I burned something in the oven, not badly but just enough to make the house stink. Gracie LOST it. She shook violently as she begged me to hold her. I managed to calm her by offering her treats. Then, when I lit a soy candle to combat the stench, she began to shake again.
The next day, I tried to light the candle again. She was not in the room. She heard the scratch of the match, though, and that was enough. She raced into the bedroom and hid behind the curtains.
She has never acted this way before this weekend. It is so sad to think what may have prompted this reaction. What did her former owner do to this poor dog??
Have any of you encountered this type of behavior? If you have, I would love to hear your suggestions. In the meantime, I will be a little more careful in the kitchen for Gracie’s sake. Of course, Rescue Daddy’s stomach will appreciate it too!
