What a wonderful story, Sonya! Milla is doing what all our wonderful pyrs do. Even our shy Ivy Rose will do the same thing--she might be trembling, but if someone comes to the door unexpectedly, and we clearly don't know them, or don't invite them in, she'll stand between us and the door growling. It's somehow all the more touching because she's so timid. Ann, Peg, Paddington and Ivy Rose
