There are three dogs in the neighborhood that I say hello to while they are being walked.
a) A HIGE golden retriever who says hello by coming forward and circling. Apparently it loves to be cool, loves water, mud and a boat. Basically a silly dog.
b) An older female black lab. Loves to be petted, but can knock you over and always happy to see me.
c) Various German Shepherd puppies (female) in pre-training to be a service dog. Dispositions vary. Most like to play bite. A companion to (b). Seeing them both together is a problem. The goal here is to keep the new guy from jumping.
d) The new neighbor's dog could care less about anything/anybody. I think I got a sniff once.
e) Another neigbor has a dog, but you would never know it. It's not allowed on the grass.
f) A third neighbor had a dog. Likes to say hi and then explore. Oh, and he liked to lay on the trampoline.
g) There was one across the stret, but I can't remember much about him. Must have passed 10+ years ago.
I had two dogs, between the ages of about 0 and 16. The former was a Spitz and very protective of me. The latter was likely stolen and had a thyroid condition that required daily medication. Unknown breed. Supposedly a cross between a cocker spaniel and a Golden retriever. Curly ears and chest. Chest was white. Ears were a mix of brown and black. Coat was Irish setter straight-hair like.
