Suki made friends with Badger today. Badger is the Golden Retriever that lives across the street in the big, old Victorian house. For many days the Mr. Golden had been howling at Suki. Linda and I weren't sure if the howls were friendly or angry. We thought the howls bordered on aggression, so we made sure Suki didn't go very close to Mr. Golden.
However, this afternoon Linda took Suki across the road to introduce herself to the new neighbours. They said that they have just moved in from Indiana and Mr. Golden's formal name was Badger. Hmm..Badger moved to the right state, then. Anyway, they said Badger was actually completely harmless. Suki was then introduced to Badger. Even though dogs are colourblind, Suki can spot a Golden Retriever a mile away. She definitely has a weakness for handsome young Goldens. And Badger is as handsome and young as they come! I wasn't witness to the historic first meeting. However, I did see an encore later on.
Linda took Suki again to meet Badger. Both dogs bowed at each other like respectful Victorian (or Japanese) humans. They then jumped up, very unVictorian-like. Finally, they completed the introduction process with a good old, time trusted sniff of the you-know-what. Both dogs wanted to play with each other. But they were both hindered by their leashes. They sniffed each other and goofed around for a while. We took Suki for a short walk after that.
