We never had to leash her or fence her in. We just let her outside.<br />Of course with a husky I know I can't do that.<br />Today she hasn't had much luck with visitors. They've all just kept walking.:(Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162090783752118037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747066338755736021.post-21511276856481535062011-04-13T10:25:54.640-07:002011-04-13T10:25:54.640-07:00Nice to meet you!
I usually always will stop and ...Nice to meet you!<br /><br />I usually always will stop and pet a dog I see, even if it is fenced. I would never go into a person's yard, but if the dog, or fence line, is along the sidewalk I will pet the dog and talk to it. As long as the dog is wagging its tail, and looks like it is nice, I will pet it. Of course, I am aware of the signs to look for in scared or mean dogs, so I will not approach if I notice any of those signs, but normally I will always stop to pet a pup!<br /><br />I even stop if I am with my dog, since Suka is super friendly and loves all dogs. <br /><br />I grew up when dogs were let out of the house in the mornings for their runs through the neighborhood (and I am not even that old! Times sure have changed). No fear of dogs back then. We always saw dogs all over the neighborhood, including ours. :-> My parents' and grandparents' generation grew up the same way. Most dogs just ran free and only the mean dogs were chained or kept in fenced yards. I miss those days!<br /><br />K and SukaSukahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009318011921074536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747066338755736021.post-83486117173339493402011-04-12T23:12:56.095-07:002011-04-12T23:12:56.095-07:00I wouldn't approach a dog because usually I ha...I wouldn't approach a dog because usually I have a dog with me if I'm walking the neighborhood. Some of my dogs are reactive, so it's best that I don't invite a conflict. :)<br /><br />Maybe if it came up to me and I was alone, I might, but it depends on the dogs reaction to me.24 Paws of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574070591449171093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747066338755736021.post-4082858959085741142011-04-12T20:14:05.724-07:002011-04-12T20:14:05.724-07:00That make sense if you're sure about the dog. ...That make sense if you're sure about the dog. I can't tell if these people have come up to her before or not. They all seem to be locals. I assume this because they are walking and we live in the country.<br />I don't have a problem with them playing with her, god knows she loves it!<br />There is a golden down the road that growls everytime we go by. I wonder if they approach him.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162090783752118037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4747066338755736021.post-30583879323461734742011-04-12T19:00:12.783-07:002011-04-12T19:00:12.783-07:00First question: One time visit or along the route ...First question: One time visit or along the route of daily walks? There are several dogs along our daily route that we stop & say hello to, a huskerboo & a golden come to mind. There are others that we walk on the otherside of the street- this is a judgement garnered over weeks of daily pass-bys. On the other hand when out & about in new areas- other sibes /northern dogs- usually at leach approach & see reaction, other breeds not so much but it's always a case-by-case call.TimberLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273078876037010647noreply@blogger.com
