Subject: I need some advice.

Last night Bean was on the bed with me and she was in my spot and I went to slide her over. I was gently pushing on her back and hip area to move her over. She REALLY snarled and growled aggressively at me. This is SO out of character for her. she has never shown any dominance EVER with us or with a person for that matter. she did this to me like 5 times as I kept moving and her telling her NO. I was just in shock and wasn't sure if she was doing this at Tony as he immediately jumped off the bed and frightened and she was staring at him, so I thought maybe she was growling towards him. so I moved Tony out of the room and slid bean again. well again she did this horrible snarl growl at me. I called Rob into the room to see it and he was also shocked. we immediately told her to get off the bed and we made her lay on her own bed. I am thinking maybe she has a problem with her hips or back and is injured, however she shows no signs of limping, or acting like she is hurt.. I am going to take her to the vet as soon as I have some money, I need to wait about 2 weeks...

I am just wondering if when a dog is in pain if they can actually growl at there owner like this. it is so unlike her and she is VERY submissive and respectful in the house with me. I can take her bones from her, I roll her on her back a lot for tummy kisses and I am always sliding her around the bed, she has NEVER acted anything but submissive with me. she has perfect manners in the house.

I have told you all that she can be a nightmare on leash and has aggression issues with other dogs on lead but I have been able to manage this by making her sit and giving her treats for good behavior, but she can be really dominant out on leash so she has it in her I suppose.

my thinking is she has become dominant over me and I need to work on this right away, or she has some injury that is causing her pain. Even if she had pain, wouldn't it be more normal for her to yelp in pain and get off the bed. she wouldn't budge and just kept growling at me every time I went to move her. this has me really freaked out as its so not my Bean... what do you guys think? Please I need some advice on this right away!!!!

Thanks, Lisa
