Fred mostly gets oooohs and aaaah and asking me what he is.
Bodhi gets all sorts.
1. Is she blind in that eye/what happened to her eye.
It's blue. Nothing more. Yes, it has always been blue.
2. Oh my dog just wants to say hello!
Bodhi starts to hackle up... She's getting worse with age, and is much less tolerant these days! Even when I clearly say 'she won't want to play, or say hello' they insist their dog is friendly.... They usually work out what I mean when their dog gets too close. Not sure why they think I put her back on the lead when they approach.
3. Is she a lab/staff/whippet?
Yes, someone really has asked me if she's a whippet before
4. Wow, she's really well behaved!
She's not actually, she's just had regular training. She's hardly a super dog, but yes she does what I ask her too and comes when she's called! It's from building a good relationship with her, and training her when she was a puppy, and still reinforcing it every time we walk. She still slips up now and then!
4. She looks very fit.
She is (well, actually we call her fatty badger at the moment and she's on a diet lol, we were giving her too much raw when we transitioned, and we've been very lazy this winter lol). But otherwise, yes she is extremely fit. She gets exercised!
