NOT a pointless thread at all!!!
Bonding is a great thing and when you get hit with the realization - hey this dog loves me it is a wonderful feeling!
My greyhound and I were bonded very quickly - it was like she knew what I was thinking..
With Keegan I got her at 6 weeks and I thought it would be easy to bond with her. It wasn't until she was almost a year old that I realized she was bonded with me. I took her to the dog park for the very very first PT meeting and I was very leery of letting her off leash b/c I was afraid even with the fenced in area that she would never come back to me and I wouldn't catch her.
I didn't have to worry - she never left my side. All the other dogs would go around the park with whoever was walking, but not Keegan! She stayed right with me. And you can ask anyone who keeps an eye on her for me at the dog park meetings when I go potty or whatever - she usually sits right by the fence until I come back. Now yesterday she actually gave up the fence position for laying under the picnic table![]()
When we were at the Mutt Show I asked Diana to hold her so I could go to the bathroom and she almost pulled her over to follow me. Diana said "I forgot who I was holding!"
kisses to the sweet Gracie!
