Not everyone wants to be your friend.

I’ve said that 6000 times this weekend. Whenever we take our dog out anywhere, she wants everyone to love on her. She’s made it her mission to make sure every human she comes across loves dogs. ❤️🐕🐕

Do you know how hard it is to control a 45 lbs. licking machine? I swear I got a better workout today just taking her for a walk. The arm strength it takes to keep her away from people is crazy.

She’s the happiest dog and wants to meet everyone. Some people are great about it. They pet her, let her lick them, talk to her like a baby, and tell her what a good girl she is. She looooovvvvves it. Then when someone walks by without acknowledging her, she’s heartbroken.

Today we met a great lady and her husband. They loved on her and she ate it up. They were so sweet. We stood around sharing dog stories while Nova got her daily dose of stranger love. Thanks so much for humoring my dog today!!!

Nova obviously does not adhere to the stranger danger philosophy. She makes me come out of my shell a bit too since I’m having to talk to these people she’s licking, or apologizing to those who don’t want slobbered on.

Is your pet a people person? How do you handle your animal around others?

Thanks for reading & responding!! ❤️ TC
