Greetings! Now pet me...
When a new person enters the house Louie doesn't so much as greet as say "Heeeeeyyy! New person to pet me!!" Louie has a way to ask for pets. Louie walks over to people, sits (what a good boy!), and promptly places a paw on the crotch of whomever happens to be there. Unfortunately, he can be very...heavy handed. And it can hurt. Especially for those of the male persuasion. (Although, if anyone has advice on curbing this-it would be much appreciated) (Though, you can laugh at this.  I do...but don't tell my friends  )
(Have you guys missed me? I check in sometimes, but don't post often. Just don't have the time anymore. My grandmother is doing as well as can be expected. I am a stressed out mess-but that is normal for me 
Oh and I thought I would take the opportunity to remind everone that my birthday is July 2. A pool party would be nice. With a big cake. And alcohol. ) |

LOL 
Well, sounds like Louie may not be the favorite of male guests LOL Sky does that too... I have been able to get her to curb her enthusiasm somewhat, but I think it just settles with a bit of maturity. I'm sure you don't need to tell the guys to say Oww! when he does that.... so she'll get the idea I hope! LOL
Happy Birthday in advance if we don't see you on the forum again before then  |
| I missed you!
That is kind of hilarious. I don't have any suggestions. 
Pool party! Pool party! |
| You could issue protective gear at the door...
Or you could advise everyone to say "No!" when she does that, and separate her from the crowd for a while. And treat like crazy if she doesn't do it. Probably won't work, but give it a try! Nice to see ya. |
Brie does the same thing Just knows where to wack with that giant paw, especially when it is new MALE Visitors.  (OUCH)
We have a sport called cricket here and what they wear under there trousers is a good idea for male visitors to our house. I have suggested that on numerous occassions, PORTECTION against sheepie girls and those wacking paws LOL
Boy they know where to aim that paw, thank goodness for being female and not male. |
| Yes!!! You've been missed!
Well you could start training Louie to sit for pats..no exceptions and he might clue in this is the way to get some attention. Pool Party!! Okay I'm coming...as usual I'll bring the party hats and you get to wear the tiara , I'll also bring pointed ones, and those cute plastic fireman ones too. Maybe you can invite some fireman to wear them? Marianne and the boys |
Thanks, guys!! 
What I'm doing with him is if he sits he gets petted but if any of his paws head for ummmm sensitive areas-back away and no petting. He's about 50/50 (he lifts his paw about half of the time) so maybe it'll get 100 %. Until then I think I'll pass out protective under things . |
I don't really have any suggestions. Annie pokes men in the crotch and then the butt!  |
| Fox and Glacier have a different approach, they nose their way in between the legs and if the person doesn't pet them within a few seconds, the nudge them like a calf at it's mother's udder.
Both male and female visitors find this......well, you know
s. |
| LOL!
This post had me chuckling...sheesh now I need to get out more! Marianne and the boys |

Could you imagine the looks on their faces . . .
Good luck with this - I don't have a lot of suggestions - maybe lap pillows?! |
| Lucy used to have a move similar to that but she'd put a paw up on the knee accompanied with growling until she got what she wanted. Nothing says "pet me" like scaring someone with a growl! |
| My best friend's dog goes right for the crotch
Rags & Peps jump over each other to get to whoever is at the door first. Then they bark until they get attention....and all of us that have more than one know that you cannot give one attention without the other one wanting it.
Ryan's county case worker came over last month and luckily he likes dogs. Rags jumped right up on his lap. I got her down and he was writing something and Rags headbutted his notebook clear across the room. I guess someone needs to work on her manners
He thought it was funny. Thankfully!!! I was so embarrassed. |
