My new Border Collie puppy was in the crate earlier making a lot of noise. I wanted her to get used to the crate but at some point or another I snapped and growled slightly at her. Err, yes, like a dog. She stopped and looked around, and then gave a tiny muffled growl. I wasn't immediately concerned because she has shown no aggressive behaviour earlier whatsoever (although she did the same thing with my older dog when he growled at her because she had a bone and he wanted that one instead of the one he has). I took her out when she was quiet, played with her a while, and tried to do that growl again. She immediately looked at me, did that dog smile (I'm sure you people know what I mean, when you know for sure a dog is happy by the way he bounces his head and smiles), and then began kissing me all over. I'm utterly confused. Should I be concerned at all? Her growling didn't sound dangerous--just a sort of, "Eh?" thing. I know my older dog growls even when he doesn't mean it--like when I tell him to, or if he's jealous of one dog, or if he's erm...'happy' (wants to chase another dog)...does it all while sneezing and wagging his tail and jumping around...

Huh? What are you talkin about?

Nevermind, she didn't do it again... -_-;;
