If I start to yell Griff is right up there trying to jump up on me (which he NEVER tries to do any other time) - he actually get excited. He lets me know I need to take a breather and chill a bit before I continue. He usually makes me laugh when he does that.
Angry voices response?
I don't like to admit that we have disagreements or that we're passionate about our 'side' of the argument, but....
Penny hates it when we raise voices in anger. She ducks and runs to the small bathroom and lays low. If she's outside or in the car, she won't come in the house. Of course, I feel like 2 cents waiting for change and the world's worst mom because I've upset her.
She'll even run for cover if DH lets slip with a curse. She says to herself: THAT never ends well.
She finds comfort in me first even though I'm usually the one who starts the 'raised-voice episode' ( I get short on patience
). Does this mean she sees DH as alpha even though I do all the training, treating, soothing? We think it does because he gives off male aura.
So how does you Golden react when everything is not 'happily ever after'?

Maybe she is a secret democrat . Poor baby.
. Poor baby.
Hmmm I think Bailey just gets annoyed, but my boyfriend and I have a parakeet that will squawk really loud when we raise our voices...which just makes us laugh So arguments don't last long because we end up laughing at him LOL
So arguments don't last long because we end up laughing at him LOLLOL. Riley doesn't like it when I get irritated. Which usually happens any time I'm trying to fix or repair something around the house. He starts getting nervous as soon as he hears the magic word ("G--d---it") and will leave the room, because he knows that mom is about to start slamming things.
If I'm home alone, he usually heads for the big chair in the living room. I guess he feels safe there? If mom's home, he immediately goes to sit by her.
He's really done wonders for my blood pressure, though, because the minute I realize that I've upset him (or the minute mom tells me "Calm down - you're upsetting the baby.") I have to go hug him, tell him I'm sorry and that it's okay. It really helps me calm down and regroup.
