Puppy Love

Puppy Love
Partner & I got a Cocker Spaniel pup about a month ago. She's just had her injections and is allowed out the past few days, so been making the most of it and getting her tired out.
But what is really amazing is the amount of random people, complete strangers, mainly young women , who come up to you to say hello to her. Went to the pub for a drink last night and it took us 10 mins to get in to the bar, then any hopes of a quiet drink were dashed when people kept coming up to us.
If I was younger/single then I might be tempted to take advantage of the situation, in the meantime slightly overwhelmed with the attention.

I used to take our Cavalier spaniel to my local and she would sit on the stool at the bar next to me. Obviously if the pub was busy and the stool was needed I kicked her off but very often the locals would insist that she kept her place. I can't remember a time when someone complained or failed to give her a friendly stroke. But she would have a slurp of my beer when I wasn't looking. 'elf and safety would have arrested her

I used to get this with my puppy last year, although probably not as much as you by the sounds of it. Now that he's almost fully grown most people are a little weary . Although I do still get the occasional person coming up asking me about him and telling me how striking he looks.
The smaller "cute" dog breeds seem to be more popular than ever these days.

I agree with the amazing amount of puppy love out there. I have a 5 month old Rottweiler, and the attention he gets is shocking.
Gary77 mentioned a potential "Hug a Muslim Day" to solve the problems in society recently. I thought that sounded like a good idea, but having a puppy also seems excellent for community relations

Our neighbour's little ****zoo looks like a harmless, fluffy toy but it's a very temperamental dog. People that have tried stroking her with spontaneous affection have been bitten by her. One has to be careful. It's common sense.

I don't mean to say that you should stay paranoid all the time because your dog has a capacity to turn against you and others unpredictably, but you should just be aware of it, so that you can avoid harm from your dog to yourself and others. If something like that never happens with your dog, then jolly good. Just bin that red suit of yours, that's all.

Love Cockers, mental things when they are young LOL. Just be careful she doesn't get separation anxiety.
This fella is now 7 years old and never fails to attract the ladies when he's out for a walk.....
....except for when he decides to roll in some cat/horse/cow sh*t
And he absolutely HATES children. Keeps the little bastids away

I think he's missed the whole point, somewhat.

How has he missed the whole point? See, his other mates told him to get a cute dog to fetch females attention for itself, which could lead to the dog master getting some female attention. Fact is, it doesn't work like that. Ladies like to compliment his dog, not him. So, he feels that he should have been a dog.

Seriously, keep your eye on that beast, or it'll sever your head clean off and eat it whole!
No, I can definitely see how it could be a chick magnet.
ISWYDT!

I think AliB's dog is a Yorkie. They have a reputation for being little nasties. My mother in-law had them. Her postman got bitten 2-3 times by them, and eventually, he sent a letter via his organisation, asking if she'd put a personalised letter box on a tree; at least half a mile from her house. She did that, and she also strengthened her house gates.
A neighbour's cute looking miniature is even smaller than my cats but he goes mental when he sees them. He's not good with the humans either.

I don't understand what you mean with SWIDT, but your imagination has no boundaries. Other thing is, do the 'bitches' mean something sexual towards the pooch when every time they go "awww....what a cute dog!"? No. Nor does our friend's imagination work like yours when he thinks he'd rather be a dog. I think he'd be just happy with a pet on his head and wag his tail in happiness with the attention he'd get- as a dog. His joke is clean but yours takes it to another level! Bleach your mind sometimes, Jos.

Had a Rottweiler prior, best dog ever if brought up right, loved her so much.
Now we have this little ****, never listens or anything, barks for nothing. (Mind, perfect size for our daughter to play with, hence the reason we got him)
I call it little dog syndrome, I'll never have a small dog again although everywhere we go we get compliments
