What a Weirdo!!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Today, I saw the strangest thing at the Vet's office. I had to stop in and pick up the dog's Frontline and standing in the lobby was a woman with a gorgeous Doodle dog. This woman went up to the owner and asked what kind of dog she had and the owner said it was a Saintberdoodle. While they were talking, the dog jumped up on the woman as she oohed and aahed over the dog. I could hear her saying to the dog, "Oh, I see you are shy and don't like people," as she continued to stroke the dog's soft fur.  She told the dog that her dogs were going to smell her all over her and be so jealous and then she bent over the dog and did the weirdest thing....she kissed this stranger's dog. OMD....who does that to someone's dog??  Well, the answer is ME and as soon as I did it, I could not believe it and said my goodbyes and ran out to the car to tell John what I had done.

He was no help and said that is why he was not a dog kisser, because he didn't want to ever accidentally kiss a stranger's dog. I felt like an idiot and knew I would not like someone I did not know kissing my two dogs. Heck, I can barely stand it if I see someone come out of one of those Porta-potties and head towards my dogs, knowing full well they did not wash their hands. I tried to get John to reassure me that it was not as weird as I was imaging, but John said it was plenty weird and the woman was probably having the dog groomed as we speak.

I thought about Karen telling us dogs don't like strangers reaching over the tops of their heads, but couldn't remember if she every said anything about kissing the top of the head of a strange dog at the Vet's office. What was I thinking? Is this a sign of weird things to come? Any help would be appreciated.

I would probably do the same thing Laurie.  When I see a Doodle nothing gets in my way.  Last summer my daughter in law asked me to go with her and her two daughters to S.F. for some fun.   We had a great time, but everytime I saw a Doodle I either yelled "oh look at the Doodle" or I wanted her stop the car so we could go see the Doodle.  I might have taken more pictures of Doodles than I did of S.F and the girls.  LOL   I think I hurt her feelings because I was more excited about the Doodles than the trip.  I'm right with you on the "weird" thing:)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I am sure she understood. LOL Thanks, Lonnie!

I am chuckling over this because I do the same thing!  If there is a doodle around I stop everything and run to meet it!  Recently I was with family that we do not see very often and I spent more time with their 6 month old golden doodle than my niece and nephews!  Not proud of it.....just sayin'......can't help myself! 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

LOL...I would have done the same thing. Nieces and nephews should understand :)

[Gail and Bailey]

Those family members will be staying with us over Labor Day and I told them they could come IF they brought their Golden Doodle puppy with them!!  Can't wait to spend three days with that sweet thing!  Am so excited to have a playmate for Bailey!  Oh...and I guess it will be okay that the 4 adults and 3 kids are coming too!  LOL

I am guilty of kissing others dog as well. If the dog is clearly enjoying my pets and silly talking I have no problem giving him or her a kiss. Puppies, are definitely getting a kiss! I can't resist them. 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

All bets are off here with puppies, too!!

ROTFL, Laurie, We may consider you  quirky, outlandish, eccentric, unconventional, zany and madcap even, but weird, never. We are members of Doodlekisses and it was a doodle you kissed so that makes it perfectly acceptable, even required. I can't say that I've ever done it but if the opportunity presented itself I would probably take advantage of it. I know DH has done this and my neighbour gave Quincy a big ole smooch on the nose this evening, so nope, not weird at all. 

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Thank you, Donna! John won't even kiss our own dogs....now, that is weird :) I would kiss Quincy, too!

[Becka]

Laurie, if you're weird then so am I, because I kiss stranger's dogs far too often. :)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Oh boy...I don't know if this is a good thing or not :) LOL

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

Kiss and Tell! hmmm...
