Rumpy
While my person and I were out walking I saw a dog that looked like my blogging friend Rumpy. He was with two other dogs and a person, and they were walking through a dry wash. My person and I were on the trail a little way above the wash.
Well of course I wanted to go see my friend. I hadn’t met Rumpy in person before – only in blogger space. I tugged and yanked on my leash and my person tugged and yanked back, but I usually have the advantage when it’s a downhill run. I finally broke free from my person and headed down the hill toward my friend.
Oops. I discovered too late that this was not my friend at all – and this dog was not very happy to see me. He raised his hair and I raised mine. We checked each other out and then we started to tousle.
The other dog’s person made him leave and I was so embarrassed that I went right where my person told me to go. Back up the hill and home.
No one was hurt in this embarrassing episode except for my person. She scraped her hand trying to keep me from going down the hill. Silly person. All she had to do was tell me that wasn’t my friend down there. I would have listened. Really I would. I hope she doesn’t make me pay for her band-aid.
P.S. Rumpy has a really great blog. You can check it out at http://rumpydog.wordpress.com.

Every time I see a boxer, I think it is my best pal, Stella. But it almost never is. My nose works much better than my eyes do.

Lola, I agree about the nose working better. Unfortunately, I don’t know what Rumpy smells like.

Mr. Sammo is not socialized and I have to muzzle him everywhere we go which is usually just to the vet. He’s a good dog; very protective, and he would have dragged me down the hill right along with him.

Sandra, I would have dragged my person down the hill too except that I pulled her down instead and my leash pulled out of her hand. Usually when she sees a dog coming she grabs my collar and pulls me out of the way, but sometimes we come around a corner and she doesn’t get a chance to shorten my leash in time.

Iowa Dogs, everything did turn out okay, thanks. The dog in the picture is Rumpy. Rumpy sent it to me so I could put it on my blog.

Thanks Mumsy. My person says her hand is almost better now. I do hope I get to really meet some of my blogging dog friends some day. Hugs and nose kisses to you too.

Bassa, I think I need you to watch over my shoulder all the time. I don’t always think before I do something. My person watches over me pretty well, but sometimes I just yank the leash.
