Oh no, I got yelled at !

Schatzi is not consistent yet.
Some days she is skittish, barely wants to be picked up by her Dad and turns her head or crouches down when I want to pet her.
Other days walking into the house from the backyard only works when you prop the door open . It was better, when she was still on the leash. Now she will not come in when you are holding the door open, or when she sees someone in her path.
Going outside is totally out of the question and way too much asked at this junction. This will require a semester of " Basic 101 : How to go into the back yard "
The question also remains : Is she house broken ? I have no idea. There are no accidents in the house because we take her out . But Schatzi never gives us an indication, that she wants to or has to go outside.

Eating anything out of my hand still does not work.
We both like almonds in the morning in bed. Edgar Cayce said this prevents cancer . We might as well give it a try, at least, it cannot hurt. I hope it works, but he was wrong with a few other things too. I can put an almond on the pillow with my finger touching and she will pick it up. But Schatzi will not take it when I am holding it.
A chewie and a biscuit make her little nose wiggle, but taking them out of my hand is not safe yet.

When Crissy and Mike come, the kitchen activity goes into high gear. There are extra bags flying around, pots and lids clanging, casseroles come from their hiding places, there are countless trips to both refrigerators, up and down the stairs and Crissy's high heeled boots banging on the floor.
Schatzi in her basket, with a mean look in her face, barked at Crissy furiously and had to be told several times " NO ".
She set off the door bell again -- what a voice ! Very impressive, but unfortunately she still had to be corrected.
All in all, it was not a good dinner, she got yelled at for the first time. And nobody liked that and felt guilty.
To make this evening end really bad, mom kicked her accidentally when Schatzi dashed under the kitchen table and they both collided
