Nice To Meet You - I Am Chopped Liver

[Michele, Biscuit & Mo]

One of our neighbors down the road has been having some major landscape work done on their front and back yards. The landscapers have been there for several weeks, doing everything from all new plants and trees to a brick driveway.

Penny and walk by there every morning on our walk - the men always smile and say hello.

The work is now finished and the guys were cleaning up this morning. As Penny and I came around the curve, I overheard one guy say to his foreman, "Hey... here comes your girlfriend."

Uh-oh, I thought. Now I'm gonna have to fend off some wolf and tell him no, I can't go out with you, I'm married.

As we approached the guy got down on his knees, and yelled, "There she is! Come here you beautiful pooch!"

Penny went nuts. I about died. It was HER he's crazy about, not me!

He spent the next 5 minutes fawning over her and telling her how much he loved her.

I, apparently, am chopped liver.

That's so funny, Bear and I were walking at Mission Trails when the rangers drove up and stopped to say hi to Bear and pet him. About a half hour later when we were in the parking lot leaving, over the loud speakers from the rangers truck he says" Hey that's my dog leaving with that lady" then he said, " see ya next time Bear". Everyone turned around to look, it was so funny. I guess doodles have that effect on people.

I think all the people in Point Loma which is the peninsula we live on in San Diego know Gracie Doodle. My husband and I walk her all over and over time she has become pretty well known. I can be driving my car with Gracie hanging her nose out the window and people will call out "Hi Gracie" or "Hey, there's Gracie". I haven't a clue who they are. We are part of the local Christmas parade every year. Gracie rides in it with me on the tailgate of our old 1950 Ford Woodie. Everyone calls out to Gracie and even the loud speaker said "That must be a Goldendoodle in that Woodie". My husband and I were born and raised here and Gracie in her short 3 years (almost) knows more people and has more friends!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!

LOL. I was walking Penny a couple of months ago and encountered a man and woman walking toward us. They had just moved in the day before. They yelled, "This must be Penny!" I said yes, and they told me they'd heard from a couple other neighbors all about her. It then took them a month to remember MY name. :-)

You know Michele, I have people come up to me in public when I have the girls out and they will say don't you live in "Beacon Hill" and I'll say yes and look somewhat confused and they will say "OH my daughter or son or friend lives there and I've seen your dogs when I go through there.

LOL, too cute!

This is a great story. Looks like Penny has her own fan club.

LOL. I shouldn't be surprised that all of us doodle owners are in the same boat. I swear... half the people in our neighborhood know Penny by name but don't know who I AM! Have a great day, everybody.

This is so funny, but amazingly true! We had this happen just over the week-end. We took the girls to the outlets shopping just to get them out of the house since it was above freezing. We walked in The Olde Farmstead and the clerk said "There they are" and the lady checking out said "Oh, you know them", and the clerk said "No, I don't know them, but I know the dogs". Then on a therapy visit the other day I kept running into this one lady who just loved Sophie. As I was getting ready to leave I ran into her again, along with 2 staff members. The lady was again talking to Sophie and introducing her to the 2 staff members. As I got ready to leave the lady said "Good-bye Sophie, and ah, Good-bye whoever you are". However, I did get recognized one time without Sophie. I went to a volunteer meeting at the Veteran's home where Sophie and I visit, and I didn't take Sophie. So when I walked in the room one of the patients yelled across the room "Hello, How's Sophie's Mom".
