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 :norty: , 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 :nono:

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 :lol1:. 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 :luvlove:

Say awwww

DANGER DANGER DANGER !!!!!!!!!!!

KEEP CHILDREN AWAY !!!!!!!!!!!

IT'LL EAT CHILDREN FOR NO REASON !!!!!!!

DANGER DANGER DANGER !!!!!!!!

That dog should be on a ball and chain as it could potentially rip a face off if it wanted to.

I cower away everytime I walk past him - its frightening

Well, it can be a serious danger, if we take it for granted. Dog isn't a stuffed teddy, it's an animal. One can have have one, but one should not trust it blindfolded, that's all.

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.

Ah FFS come one, look at the size of the wee thing.
What harm is it going to do to anyone.

Size doesn't always denote the capability of a creature. Look at some tiny Yorkies, Chihuahuas and Pomeranians. Some of them are so nasty that they can rip your face off in minutes, if in bad mood. Anything could set them off, then. My neighbour's Yorkie is evil and it's even smaller than my cats! Some Jack Russell are very vicious as well. Perhaps your wee dog has much calmer and human friendly temperament, which is good. But even then, you should be aware that it has the capability to harm you. I know someone whose miniature dog turned against them simply because they wore red colour that day. Apparently, red colour was not the dog's favourite. Most times, we can work out this 'because' with our pets, but there are times when it's difficult to put your finger on the pet's reason of 'losing it'. Sometimes it could simply be a flea that bit them and annoyed them, but they went mad at you because they thought that it was you that bit them.

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. ;) :D

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 :mad:

And he absolutely HATES children. Keeps the little bastids away :thumb:

A friend of ours says he's jealous of his dog. He says that he wishes he were his dog and the dog were him. Then he would have attracted the ladies, not his dog. :D

lol

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

...Unless he was thinking of some serious, quite literal, doggy action.

How has he missed the whole point? :confused: 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.

In that he wished to be the dog (so as to get the ladies' attention, in the first place).

But he'd be a dog! So unless the bitches (SWIDT) were into bestiality...............

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. :norty:

ISWYDT! :lol1:

And as for this monster... well, it should be classified as a weapon of mass destruction, plain and simple! I sure hope you don't take it out in public! :D

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. :mad: :D


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.

SWIDT = See What I Did There :)

Cool. Thanks,, BBY. :)

Had a Rottweiler prior, best dog ever if brought up right, loved her so much.
Now we have this little sh1t, 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

He's cute but his teeth are frightening.

Advert for dog teeth bites

Christ, his teeth are on display all the time; even when he shuts his mouth! Can very well do modelling for Colgate. :cool:

I bet any money that's what he means/would like LOL :D

What breed is it, Bustamoves? Mix of a boxer and a Jack Russell?
