> I have a 24 month old female "mourning"(white colored) pekingese, and for the past week, when she is fed, she becomes extremely aggressive towards any movement wihtin about a 15 ft. radious. Last evening, while cleaning up from supper, she phisically attacked me. I had to cover her with a blanket for nearly 20 min. to calm her down. She is up to date on all her shots. Have you heard of anything like this before?

She is trying to show her power in your household. If you are allowing her to do this you are reinforcing her behavior. What you might try doing is filling a spray bottle with water, and spaying her in the face while you are saying no. Have you recently got a new puppy? If you have that might be making her nervous. Also if she is in heat, that could make her a little moody. If you keep having problems I would talk to my vet about it.
