Stuck Up

We took the boys to run some errands. The first was to get dog food and they came in with us. The owners and employees greeted the dogs and vice versa (they know each other). When a couple customers wanted to greet them Dex was all for it but Winston turned his back on them!

Next stop was to get gas. They were loose in the back seat and I rolled both windows down. A man came up and asked about them and asked if he could pet them, we said yes. When he put his hand near the window Winston turned, walked to the other side of the car and sat down. Dex loved the attention. Later Win had his head out the window and a woman next to us remarked about the cute dog. Winston snorted and backed away from the window.

He didn't act afraid, more like he didn't want to put up with adoring fans today!

That's funny! Eevee did this thing once where she walked right up to this lady who wanted to pet her, sniffed her and then ran away from her and started barking at her!
Dogs are supposed to be a better judge of character than humans... Maybe we could learn from all this.

If the lady came on too fast, too cutesy, the dog will balk. Then again she could have had a scent on her that threw him.
They are not so different from us. Some days you just can't be bothered... :wink:
That's funny!
We have the same with my in-laws-gets embarasing!!x
Ava does this all the time, and Lacy just plain doesn't like anyone but us.

Ava will come right up to people like "oh sure, go ahead, pet me!" and then put her nose in the air and walk off like "Too slow! HaHa!"

She's a pain, lol.

Yes, Kenny did this too....some lady approached him very fast and had a bunch of stuff in her hands. He barked twice and jumped under my chair lol. Immediately after she left he went to the younger girl next to us at a table and was all friendly haha.

Also, Kenny usually ignores people who try to pet him. They reach and he usually lets them touch him and then he walks away haha.
