Smile! That video was wicked fun.
It's kind of interesting with dogs and barking at people. I am a dog LOVER!! I love all kinds of dogs for all kinds of reasons. And yet, there have been a few dogs in my world who have decided they didn't like me. First time it happened it confused me so much because I wanted to play. This was my little awakening that not everyone has to like everyone no matter how nice they are. Yep. There are people who are nice people but for whatever reason ... I don't like them. Mind you I don't usually growl or bark at them (out loud anyway - smile) am polite but don't really give it much more thought. There are so very many people in the world.
So that being said, I love the suggestions about the "gentle" introductions and allowing your dogs a moment to get to know your new friend and visa versa in comfortable way.
I as well have a kind of spidey sense though when it comes to people who "love dogs" vs "tolerate dogs well." I have no problems at all with people not loving or liking dogs ... it's when they insist they do that I begin to have issues. Yep. |
