Trust your nose….when getting acquainted. it is customary to inspect the new Dogs scenting area… Butt…..Some Dogs are very Difficult to get to know,… I have found things go smoother If you display a willingness to receive a sniff..and appear Slightly Submissive/passive While maintaining your dignity…Most of the time this will encourage the New Dog to relax..Like Today…. Lou Lou. came by with an old friend of Daddogs ,She seemed nice ( Sniffs were exchanged)..and She might develop into a frontyard friend..Now I’m not a judgmental Dog..BUT.. Lou Lou was wearing a very tight ( form-fitting) coat,very smooth,.and she had a ridge of longer Hair right down Her back… This would not be My first choice, but it seemed to work for Her…introductions went well..I was alittle disappointed to find Her to be Female..Boy Dogs seem much more interesting to Me.. But..Hey,, I Girl can always use a New Friend…. Next time I’ll have to remember to ask Her if She sheds…Time for Pets…
