Never really been around a dog...Nor an OES

I've been talking to this girl I met a couple of weeks ago. Come to find out she has never had a dog always a cat. She doesn't dislike dogs just never really been around them. She knows I have a dog and it's an OES. This morning we go have breakfast and afterward came back to the house. She gets to met Obe. Lets just say he represented the OES world well.

After the initial barking (I've been cooped up inside for an hour, how dare you) Obe remembers he has to go pee. She comments, he is huge. Go inside she sits down on the couch. Obe pushes the door open, runs in jumps into her lap and sits down like it was nothing. Then instantly started giving kisses. Not just one either he was head, arms, neck, any exposed skin. I could not help but LMAO before making him get down.

He gets jumps down off her lap, comes over to me and gets a drink of water. Yep, you guessed it, right back to her and lays the wet chin right on her pants. Turns looks back at me and I swear you could see the grin on his face...How I'm doing? He lifts his head, leaving the wet chin imprint on her jeans, sits down and leans hard into her to get some attention. Will you please pet me or we can repeats step 1, kisses.

I would say it's going over well....

She did like him believe it or not. She laughed, said he is so cute and friendly. The rest of time she was here he was sitting/laying between us. Then I got text after she left saying, I like your dog, he is funny.

Obe did well!! be proud. It is hard for a newbe to get along with a OES the first time.
HOPE THERE IS DATE #2
Great start!! Sounds like she could be a convert to the great world of OES. Better than a friend my Mom bought to visit. Tiggy plopped the big wet, just had a drink beard in her lap and she freaked. Too dirty, too yucky, oh well dont think she'll be visiting again. :wink:
Shon
Sounds like she may be a keeper!
Anybody that loves a 100 lb lap dog you must keep around!
well it sounds like Obe likes her, she could be a keeper :lol: .....let us know how date #2 goes :D
shon being single i too have that problem thimes 2 evey time i meet a guy and they come over they tell me how much they love dogs but never met a oes then they come over.. well still single so what does that tell you.. ha good luck
sounds like Obe knows all the right moves :lol:
Shon: Obe must have really like her with all the kisses and then allowed her to be his napkin after his drink.....very special position to be in. :D I hope things work out the way you want them to.

When my son and his girlfriend frist started to come and visit us, she was taken aback with Violet and the Aussies. She was raised with cats and a toy poodle named Jimmy. (he is a sweetheart). My girls are big dogs compared to Jimmy. Anyway, after a few visits one of the first things she does is lay on the couch and grab the first dog that comes by to lay with her and cuddle. All three of the dogs love it. So, sometimes, it just takes a little to warm people up. :)
Sounds like Obe is in love!
She sounds totally acceptable to all of us here it seems ,no freaking out,no "get this big hairy animal off me",no "do you know what these jeans cost?'..oh sorry,just reminiscing over some of the girls my older boys brought home in the past.
My oldest son married a girl whose mum bred OES when Kym was a child so her earliest memories involve sheepdogs,she felt like she was "coming home" the first time she visited and the then current sheepie jumped onto her tiny lap,she knew just what was expected of her,rubbed under the ears,tried to make her lap bigger,gracefully accepted the kisses.......ignored our son in favour of the dog...is she perfect or what!!!
Sounds like a sheepie convert is on the way! Good boy, Obe!! :lol: :lol:
I think Obe gave her the OES test...and it sounds like she passed with flying colors. Sounds like a good start Shon.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Who couldn't love a hairy "lap" dog. And the wet beard in the lap? A classic!

Go Obe Go!!
Awesome moves Obe! Looks like he was seeing if she was skittish and could handle you guys...
