So I have a friend at work. He's super nice. Really, but he has one habit that no matter how I try to explain it, he still goes on and on about it. He says always I want to give you a hug but Angel is looking at me and I don't want to make her mad. Or, she's protective of you! Look how she gives me the keep away from my mom look.
Ugh!!! It's so frustrating. I have explained Angel isn't going to bother you, I have repositioned her to make it a little easier on him, he's all but she's blocking my path to you. Yes that's what she is supposed to do when I am sitting at my desk with my back to the rest of the floor. She knows your a friend and even the cleaning ladies will just step over her now. I have tried to explain that Angel watches everyone, that she makes eye contact but it's not threatening or challenging in any way. That's just how she is. How she communicates. Her eyes can speak volumes to me. I can't make him understand and I also can't make him stop talking about it. He spreads an unsavory view of her imo. I want to say, hey, I know you feel some type a way about angel. But if you could not talk that way about her since she really isn't like that. If you have insecurities that isn't angels fault and her reputation shouldn't have to suffer because of it. I just don't know how to start a conversation like that, I like him as a friend and I don't want to hurt our friendship or his feelings but everytime I see him, that's all he says and talks about. I know people aren't used to a dog who makes eye contact, who watches and is attentive to all those around me, but I've explained!! It's just so frustrating.
