Probably but not religiously.
She nipped at the ankles of a long-term generous female friend once, early on.
That friend isn't a particularly sensitive person and has some kinds of thinking (think traditional + Southern) that I'm not too fond of. But she is also loyal, reliable and does a lot of good.
Dunno what Pooch picked up on but in one of a good handful of female friends, it didn't shake me. If she reacted that way to a male, however, I'd have to give it serious pause.
She really liked the Scotsman. I enjoyed him too but about fell over when he told me he was a medievalist. !!!!! Are they proliferating?? Fortunately, he was much less freaky that M had been on a first date (really not at all so), and spent most of his career (and still consults) in nonprofits. Doing good, iow. We had a nice time and will do lunch soon. He asked a few questions about me and seemed open. Still twinging from losing his wife I'm sure. We got along and there it is. Nothing more and nothing less.
Present moment, good! Afterward, walked down to see my galpal in her condo and hung out on her ridiculously huge corner terrace and yakked a lot, and Pooch was angelic. We walked the long way both ways and I feel great about it. Anxiety gone.
