sociability

I have to be sociable, here in the city, because we meet so many other dogs. Lots of dogs 'round here take their humans out for walks in the mornings and evenings. The other night me and Holly met a big fluffy shepherd type dog named Max. We'd seen him around before. Earlier we met some brown dogs; I didn't get their names. We met a long-haired weiner dog who was a little afraid of us so we just stood around listening to our mom talk with his person and eventualy he came out from behind his person's legs to say hi. We also met a pug mix (puggish?) dog named Murphy. And around the corner is Georgie. She's a nice black & white dog about Holly's size. Georgie used to bark at us when we would go by her yard and sometimes we would have to say something back but now we've been by so many times (she lives on the most direct route to the park) that we all just wag our tails when we meet, then we all pee.

We also meet a lot of dogs through the fences in the alleys. These dogs usually bark at us loud and excitedly. You wouldn't believe some of the things they say. Holly and I usually don't say anything back 'cause we know these dogs are just frustrated that they don't get out of their yards much.

I say take your humans for walks whether they want to or not. It's good for them and it shows you are a responsible dog.
