Most of you who know Beanie, know that she totally and completely thinks that she is human and resents any attempt to make her socialize with those things called "dogs". We have attempted several times to take her to the dog park to make some friends but that just results in tremorous shaking and very very large amounts of shoe-string drool that even Houch would be jealous of. The passed Sunday I took Beanie to a group of all Boston Terriers hoping that by being surrounded by all dogs that looked like her and who are all in her size range she would atleast make one friend. No such luck.
As you can see in the picture above there is not little 10 pound runt with a sweater any where near the fun.
She can be spotted in this photo doing what she does best, only being interested in dogs that aren't facing her. She likes them until they turn around to look at her then she runs to my feet and attempts to hide. She did venture away from me a few times only to get scared and run off on her own in a corner of the yard all by herself to sit and shake. Thankfully though it did go much better than the regular dog park with only a small amount of shoe-string drool this time.
After about 45 minutes she hid behind my feet as you can see and snapped at any dog that even came by to sniff noses. That was the sure sign of a tired pup that just wanted to go back home to the safety of her father's arms. I scooped her up and we made the journey home so that she could once again be with her people and not have to deal with what she thinks of as those things that don't speak her language. Hopefully next month she will make one friend. We'll see.
