I was sitting at the table, drinking cocoa, and watching the news before going to work. Indy was eating out of her bowl next to me and I started petting her absentmindedly - a usual occurrence. Indy wasn't having it this morning, turned, and nipped my fingers. I yelled, "No", picked up her bowl of food and stood. We had gone through this exercise when I first got her - I would feed her, then reach down and take the bowl away from her while she was eating. She had taken it well then. I put out my hand now and she came and gave it a lick. As I bent down to replace her food bowl, she licked my face - just to make sure we were OK. My status as Alpha restored, I checked out the damage. She hadn't really bit me but I'd been surprised and spilled cocoa down my jeans. Should I change? Considering what they were about to be sprayed/splashed w/ that seemed kinda ridiculous. A quick wipe and I was good to go.
