Doggie blues

Wow... never seen this before. Ellie doesn't trust me.

Ever since last night, when I gave her ears a shot of the Epiotic cleanser that cockers need periodically for healthy ears, she's been cautious almost to the point of paranoia. She'll play and take treats, but she doesn't seem ready to forget that I put that stuff in her ears... she keeps her distance, and gets pretty rigid when I pick her up and try to reassure her. She's always on guard, eyes wide open, legs stiff, and ready to run off to the study as soon as I let her go.

I'm sure she'll get over it in a day or so, but it's a strange, discouraging thing, just the same. My dogs have always been very forgiving... I've never had a dog hold a grudge overnight before. =(
