Hope you don't mind if I boast yet again about our hound, but I can't help it
On our evening walk, we met a man walking a dog called "Little Bit," who's part spaniel/part English pointer (?), and who is adorable. We've met the dog before, walked by the wife/girlfriend, and her and Mr. Blue get along great. This man didn't know us, though, and was kind of nervous to bring Little Bit close. I told him they'd met before, so he brought her over. Little Bit is really nervous and skittish around most dogs, I guess, but her and Mr. Blue really get along. He's very good with dogs who are skittish or afraid of other dogs; he's very gentle. They did the "play bows" to each other, and the tails were going frantically! The man said he's never seen her get along so well with any other dog, and how good Mr. Blue was. Then he said, "You know, your dog is stunning!" I was extremely pleased, and said that I of course agreed. He also commented on how gentle he is. I felt really good and proud, although, as always, I didn't have much to do with it. Well, we did, in that we gave him a loving home where his real self could come out. Anyway, here's an old pic of our "stunning" hound dog:
