[nagdu] Puppy Personalities

[Doug Parisian]

My 3rd black lab named Boots and I were in a leather shop where there were 
any number of life-like Manikins dressed appropriately, some standing, 
others sitting in chairs.

We were beside one of the seated manakins as I was being measured by a very 
anxious person who had to bend down near my dog who was sitting in a most 
dignified manner beside me.

Knowing her nature, I took precautions to prevent her from giving Mr. 
Anxious a serious face-licking.

However, without warning, Boots took a leap to the left and loudly woofed in 
the face of the seated manakin; no doubt Boots was annoyed that that 
human-looking object paid her absolutely no attention despite the manager 
telling me about her pathetic stares at that stupid insensitive manakin.

Doug: more alive than dead.

: My last flabradore, Payton, did not like water, wet feet, or cold deep
: snow.
: She also hated piercing noises like smoke alarms, loud fireworks and
: thunder storms.  Strangely though, if I put her to work during a
: thunderstorm or the many nearby fireworks displays where I lived, that
: fear/dislike seemed to go away.  She never spooked while working around
: jackhammers, backfiring cars or motorbikes.
:
: Payton actually interrupted a jackhammerist once when I was walking near
: some construction.  It seems that the worker was using his hammer while in
: some kind of hole.  Payton dutifully stopped (no barricade for some 
reason)
: and just before we were to walk around the area, stretched forward to give
: that tasty sweaty face a lab lick.  Poor fellow stopped his hammer, no
: doubt in total shock and then started giggling.
:
: Doug: my dog can lick your dog; and you too!

::I was just thinking about how different my 2 girls are and it is so
:: true that each pup has his or her own unique personality. For example,
:: My Abbie is happiest when she's in a quiet place with a pair of socks
:: in her mouth, she's scared of thunder storms and hates getting her
:: paws wet. She's retired now but those are some of her characteristics.
:: Valla on the other hand thrives in large crowds/noisy places, she
:: prefers to play with squeeky balls and when we get to the bottom of
:: stairs, she always does the most adoreable little hop over the last
:: one. Oh, she also hates getting her paws wet.
:: What about your dogs?
