It’s a guy thing, and since she was probably abused buy a guy .......
But let me also say that she loves me, & wants to hang with me in the yard, sits at my side at night and when her and the wife come in from outside the first thing she does is come running in looking for me.
It’s bee a little over a year now and she’s great but I think that there’s some PTSD that she may not be able to forget

Your wife was also the first one she met of the two of you and started forming their bond on their way home!
Treats, treats and more treats as you approach to pet her? Its hard to undo any trauma. When Pepper was little, we were sitting at a park bench and this big dude just suddenly came up to her an tried to pet her while she was sleeping, Pepper woke up TERRIFIED of this stranger and just lost it, and since then shes been leery of strange men. Pepper is such a mommas girl, she follows the gf around all day indoors. She HAS to be near the gf at all times. BUT she will only let me groom her. She has no problem letting us pet her or hold her anywhere, but when the grooming glove comes out, she will only let me do that.
Oh dang. I just realized today is the one year anniversary we got Pepper..lol
