Probably, that's so stupid, though. I loved both your babies! Finn liked Reece.

HEHEHE! Reece and Finn were quite the odd couple

Molly usually always draws a crowd. There aren't very many Collies in my area, so since she's a Collie, people feel that they automatically need to go see "Lassie". She's not a very "people person" dog, so I have to tell people ahead of time that she will most likely not come up to you to say "hi", so you'll have to admire her from a distance.

Daisy also attracts a lot of attention, since she's a happy-go-lucky, extremly friendly, Golden girl. She's such an attention whore and she'll do just about anything for a few pats on the head and a couple of belly rubs.

Muskwa and Heyoka. I get asked all the time if Heyoka is available for adoption--where were all these people when he did need a home!?

Muskwa is a very striking dog. His color is unusual. He gets all sorts of attention when I take him anywhere. Last summer I took him for a hike in Miles Canyon. There was a bunch of German tourists there. Muskwa's picture is all over Germany now. I bet 80 people took his picture. Unfortunately, Muskwa knows he's beautiful and has a wee bit of an ego. He poses and turns "his good side" every time he sees a camera!

When I take Sammy and Jesse for a walk, people look at Jesse like she's an alien or something. I mean, OMG! A three-legged dog! How awful! They all like to hug and kiss Sammy though. Jesse and I both hate it, Jes knows that there is something up when that happens.
Glacier, can you show me in a pm or something what Muskwa and Heyoka look like? Please?

Oggy is more out going, and gets most of the attention, Flute is a bit like Peej, though is quite comfortable with a hug if she know's the person. Just about everyone falls for Possum though.

At the dog park, Scruffy gets the most attention. And of course it's because he's a three legger. Always questions about how did that happen and how well he does-isn't it amazing!, etc. Samson and Bella Mae are just fine with that. They would rather be left alone anyway. But I feel bad for them, since I know they're nice dogs too.

Momma syndrome.

Charlie's black, and he's the one who gets the least amount of attention. I don't know why, he's the most affectionate.

I usually only take one with me when I go somewhere. But when people come to the house Nacey demands all the attention. Most people like Buster best, and he's the one who doesn't like being in the spotlight. Nova has that cute appeal that everyone loves. Nacey is just goofy all around, and Bitsy is "the pretty one".

Claire hogs the attention whether she wants to or not, of course she always does haha I guess since Rebel's more of the common doxie that people don't think much about him Once Claire gets pets though he'll normally sneak in for some haha

Yes, this happens all the time. No one pays attention to the 80 pound lab, everyone just oooohs and ahhhs over the 2 pound chihuahua. I kind of feel bad for Chico because he is the outgoing one wanting to be petted by everyone but everyone always tries to pet Guapo when all he wants me to do is pick him up to get him away from these strange people

It doesn't matter, we get shouts and hords of people anyway where ever we go. It gets anoying, because most of the time it's "mommy, a fire dog!!" and the parents say, "yes, that is so right! That is called a dalmatian!" And I say, "No, he is a pit bull mix." they look at me like I am insane..

People fear cockers! Trust me. Unless they know cockers well, most people fear them. People don't realize that nippy cockers were a result of overbreeding and that the temperment is getting much beter in the breed overall since they aren't so popular anymore. There was a lady today at the dog park with an airedale who was obviously avoiding the cockers but letting the dog when the cockers were far enough away. These were real sweet cockers too. I get comments all the time. I hate it.

[lv4dogs]

Yup, Nanook usually gets all the attention. Most people are scared of Raustyk because she is a Rott.
But it works out great cause Nanook would rather be paid attention to than Raustyk when it comes to strangers.

Two black lab mixes...Adults usually don't give a second look. But the kids always do

Wow! Your lucky your town is like that, I mean, I am glad Sammy gets attention, but, Jesse deserves some too!
