For a dog who doesn't like it when other dogs get too hyped up and in her face

[conuly]

Moonpie sure can't control herself around the huskies. Which is why she's not allowed to spend any time near them, even though she's convinced they're her besties, because she gets very hyped up very fast and they are so much bigger than her (she's big for a chihuahua, but not that big) it wouldn't take much for them to accidentally harm her.

But we bumped into them the other day, quite literally, and Moonpie wasted no time whatsoever licking their noses.

Licking their noses! She'd freak if some dog ran into her and then licked her nose while jumping around excitedly.

Wow. This reads like an entry about me.

[conuly]

I had no idea you were Moonpie.

[howsmyenglish]

Neither did I!

[conuly]

It's true what they say: On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

[howsmyenglish]

Yearf!

Licking their noses - awwww. Moonpie, you can't hide it anymore, you are a sweet little fuzzy. Admit it. XD Those huskies sound darling, too.

[conuly]

The huskies are giant goofballs, and whine eagerly every time they see Moonpie. It's the other reason they aren't allowed to socialize - very big excited dogs with one very small excited dog cannot end well.

[chanter1944]

At least they're big excited friendly dogs. *sends them pets and ear snuggles* *sends similar to Moonpie, if she's amenable*

How does a chihuahua reach a husky's nose to lick it? Is Moonpie that bouncy? Impressive!

[conuly]

The Husky starts by bending down to sniff hello.

[conuly]

But yes, she is, and routinely jumps up past knee height to get onto the bed.

[cellio]

Impressive!

L. is often rather overeager to attempt to play with every dog he comes near, however large.

Moonpie got a lot friendlier with dogs during the pandemic, but she still doesn't really want to play with them... except the huskies.

I dunno, lots of humans aren't self aware enough to recognize this kind of hypocrisy, it might be a bit much philosophy for Moonpie.

[conuly]

I want to defend my dog, but I'm all too aware that she always thought Finn was about to steal her treat even though he never went near her treats (on purpose) and she would snatch his up the second he dropped them.

Dogs are so funny, aren't they? ;)

The vaccine-mosquito story is cool, I read it a few days ago via MedPage Today

Re: "echo of Soviet times"--human nature, alas doesn't change...

And the medieval Nubian fashion was a neat story :)

[conuly]

Moonpie certainly is, when she's not moping. (Her favorite human is gone this week.)

[med_cat]

Aww ;)
