So there's this dog

[Krislady]

There's this house we walk by on our morning walks - there are fairly new owners (6 months, maybe?) and they have a dog.

Not that we've ever SEEN the dog, since there's an 8-foot stockade fence around the yard, but every time we walk by, even at 5 or so in the morning, or in the rain, or any time, the dog barks his fool head off. He doesn't seem to be threatening - just sounding an alarm. And oddly enough, it doesn't bother Jar at all. We always walk on the other side of the street (just in case) but I don't think it matters. Fenced-in dog always knows we're there, and Jar just ambles on by.

Well. This morning it was raining, and we walked by the house. It took a couple of minutes for Fenced-in Dog to BARK BARK BARK, and Jar . . . stopped and waited. Seriously. We were directly across the street from the house, and he just STOPPED.

Dog barked, and Jar did this sort of happy-leapy sort of thing - his tail was wagging, and he seemed to be smiling, but he did not bark back (he usually only barks when he wants attention). And when I said Okay, Jar, let's go, he said, sure, and we did.

I actually think maybe he wants to play. . .

That is so sweet! Maybe despite his barking there the daycare experience has given him a taste for some fun with another dog - gasp!

Well done Jarly!

That will be so cool if he will play with another dog. Come see us - Zoey will play with him. She keeps pestering our dogs until they consent to play with her. May only last 30 seconds but even Abby will play with her for a little while.

It's funny how very ODD seeing other dogs playing together seems.

I mean, I always have to keep Jar AWAY from everyone else - how cool would it be to have a dog you could just . . . let go.
