When Carey was still a puppy we had a teen come up to our porch late one night, wanting to use our phone, Carey stood under James' chair on the porch growling.
When Maggie was a baby she would stand in front of anyone (people she doesn't know well, in-laws and others) until they put her down. I guess she was just making sure they weren't gonna drop her or take off with her.
She's always been more protective of me than James. She will actually protect me from James sometimes. We tend to play very rough, always have. Carey usually understands this and just chases us. One night James was chasing me I ran into the bathroom and closed the door, when I came out, I ran into the kitchen hollering, James was right behind me and Carey jumped up and nipped him on the butt!
He will also play spank me. As long as I don't say anything Carey doesn't mind. But if I fuss some she'll start barking. If I do the exact same thing to James and he fusses, she'll just look at him "What do you want me to do?"
One night James came walking out of our bedroom with a ski mask on, very stupid idea. Carey knew it was him b/c she was wagging her tail but she didn't trust just her sense of smell and had a low growl. Then he stepped towards me, Carey got in between us and growled some more, I told James he better take it off before Carey got him. She realized it was def him and went all tail wags.
Once I saw a car pulling up in the yard, I thought it was a friend of ours so I went outside, taking Carey with me. Turns out it was just some guy going door to door looking for work. Carey was running around the car in circles. He said "I wasn't about to get out." I said "Yeah she's very protective of me." Although at that time I knew Carey was just wanting to go for a ride (she doesn't get protective until someone gets out) but I wasn't gonna tell him that.
Carey loves people, but doesn't like anyone that we just let right in the house. But if she meets you outside and you pet her, she loves you to death and will not leave you alone.
