Home Of The Rare Breed.
So we recently went on our first ever visit to the dog park. What a pleasure, for me and the puppies. At 14 months can Maxine still be called a puppy? Anyway...
Maxine is socialised as she's been to puppy school, but due to some health issues I was hospitalised and couldn't take Jigga to puppy school and he's now too old for that, so I'll start him off in obedience school next month.
I was very worried that my dogs would be aggressive towards other dogs and strangers. They tend to be that way when I take them for walks, so I was bracing myself for a bad experience of some sort. I've seen dog fights get nasty.
What a pleasure the visit was. I wish I had set aside more time for it. The other dog owners are so friendly, their dogs are so friendly. I had no idea that I was harbouring a social butterfly in Jigga. He just meets and greets everyone and is a really friendly puppy.
Maxine turned out to be more of a mommy's girl. She would return to my side every so often without me calling her. This confirms her protective behaviour she exhibits when I take her for a walk or a drive. Strangers cannot approach me on the street when I'm with Maxine and no street vendors can come near my car at traffic lights. Go Maxine!
