First impressions

I think Liz's new dog hates me. I have reason to believe he thinks I'm dangerous. I'm not sure why, but evidently there is something off-putting about me as far as he's concerned. When we met, at my house when they came to pick me up, I squatted down and said hello to him and he shrunk away. Once we got to Liz's I put my stuff in the spare room and he followed me down the hallway, two metres behind. When I made eye contact with him he turned and left. Later, as I was sitting with Liz on the lounge watching TV, I noticed him walking behind the lounge, into the study, and back into the lounge through the other door -- essentially "round the block" -- three times, looking at me furtively at various intervals. I was later informed that I was in his seat; I got up and he leaped in.

I don't get it. Everyone likes me. Even the people who don't like liked me when they first met me.

I think its going to take a lot more than my genial nature and charming humour to win him over. I kicked him in the face as I walking up the stairs with him behind me. I thought "Typical! I would kick the one who doesn't like me!" He walked away from me, unruffled, and didn't go anywhere near me until later when he hopped up on Liz's seat, next to me, but only because I am in his seat. He still doesn't look settled. He just jumped off as I wrote that.

Why doesn't he like me?
