So, did another outreach. This time we had Larry (who is another story. Stupid dog.) and this BEAUTIFUL Alaskan malamute type thing. (Kenai:

We're right up front, so we get alot of the traffic that comes through the store. I was in front of the table, running around with Kenai and talking with people. This girl sees us and goes 'OOOHH pretty!' and runs up. She's petting Kenai and talking to us and the eventual conversation goes like this;
her; OH HE'S SO PRETTY. : D
me; Yes he is! :) He's a four year old alaskan malamute
her; I WANT ONE LIKE HIM! : D
me; Well, he's up for adoption at the dog shelter and we have applications and...
her; NO, I WANT ONE WITH MORE WOLF IN 'EM! : D
I get that wolf dogs can be good dogs if you train them right and have the right environment for them. There are those owners, and then there are the 'OMG I WANT A WOLF. BECAUSE THEIR COOL.'
I strongly get the feeling the girl was the former and wanted to look 'cool.' ><;
We all were like 'uh. right.'
My SPO moment of the day; Larry is this yellow lab neutered male. But you wouldn't know he was altered because he has gone to town TWICE on my leg. Only me too.
Yesterday it was in the runs and one of the girls nearly died laughing (it happened when I was getting up so I nearly fell on the bugger) and then today it happened in one of the x-pens at the outreach. I'd been sitting with him in there, petting him, and he gets up, wraps him self around my leg and starts humping. In front of EVERYONE. So I did the SPO move and popped him on the butt and went 'NO. BAD BAD BAD DOG.' and jumped out. But in the process he wrapped himself around my OTHER leg. Maybe he just likes me?
Needless to say, I stuck with Kenai the rest of the outreach.
