Great story!

I have a similar Rhodesian Ridgeback story. Hazel my 90lb RR was probably the most intelligent dog I have ever had. I had a boy who worked part time at my brother vet clinic doing some work around my yard. I had not introduced Hazel to the kid because he had bathed her at the clinic so I didn't think it was necessary.

I miss Hazel. When Hazel first saw him walking across the back yard she took off after him and held the back of his thigh in her mouth (gently) while she cut her eyes to me asking what she should do with him. I called her to me, she let go of him and then stayed between me and the boy for the rest of the day. He knew enough about dogs, not to run from her.

Nope....I can “hear” him...sobbing softly in his bed...wondering why no one has chosen him, cold, lonely, longing for loving arms to tenderly enfold him....and a real name he can call his own.

*Never* run from a Sight Hound....ever.

You will not win.

Apropos. ;^)

I just don’t like dogs either.

[Ditter]

Right! :D Hi!

[Salamander]

I know...our shared hatred of all things canid is what bonds us together.

;D

[Salamander]

Hi!

[Ditter]

)))snort))))))):)

(that’s what my dogs do when they are happy, they blow snot on me)

[Salamander]

It’s the universal canine expression of unfettered mucous joy.

[pity those who own Mastiffs or Great Danes....can you *imagine*?].....LOL

Their second most popular method of ‘sharing the love’ is to wipe ‘eye boogers’ or the remnants of their supper slobber on your leg.

How can you *not* feel the love?

[Odin is gently and discretely cleansing his nose of frothy salmon kibble crumbs on my shorts as I type this, possibly hoping that I’m ~not~ noticing it]

FWIW, goats also “greet” you by honking horrific gobs of supersonic snot onto your person...and then they daintily wipe their noses on your clothes.

[I’m not completely sure of *their* “social intentions”]

We had a couple of goats many years ago, I really can't remember how we got them or even why. Not for cabrito! I seem to remember the male got mean and was pushing our little boys down, so they had to go. Don't remember the snot part but I am sure they did.

My Black Mouth Cur is the worst for snorting on me but I know it means she is happy.

[Salamander]

“I really can’t remember how we got them or even why. “

Everybody who’s ever had a goat always begins their story thusly....

LOL

I have a funny “cabrito” story for you. We hunted on the Texas Mexico border and would go across into Nuevo Laredo for dinner sometimes. We were over there shopping in El Mercado and went for an early dinner at our favorite place. I ordered cabrito (baby goat) for the first (and last) time. The waiter took our order and walked into the kitchen about 3 minutes later a blood curdling scream came from the kitchen. They were slaughtering a baby goat in the kitchen (their health rules are not the same as ours). It wasn't for my dinner order but I felt responsible for the goat murder all the same. No more cabrito for me!
