Language school

Is there somewhere George could go to learn dog-speak?

When a dog growls at him - as most dogs are wont to do when leapt upon by a boisterous puppy - George translates it as 'Will you be my friend and play with me?'

It is hard being a puppy who loves everyone.

This morning he went out to greet the postman. When he left, the postman went out of our gate, across the front and into next-door's drive. That was encouragement enough for George to charge at the wall, leap up on it, and from there, climb over the fence Husband erected, into next-door's garden.

By chance next door's children were just emerging to go out with their grandparents. George was ecstatic! Little children AND the postman: does life get better than this?

By the time I got round there - after retrieving my slippers that he'd stolen earlier - George was standing with his paws on the shoulders of the littlest one. She hasn't been walking that long but she was quite unperturbed.

We need a higher fence.

I hope the little ones weren't traumatized. Even though we all know George is a big pussy cat.

They love him, leslie! Thankfully!

Take him to a professional sailors' school for ships' captains' training.

There he can learn to barque ;-)

Your dog sounds very friendly. My dog does not like the postman at all. He even growls at his truck.

Bless him! It must be very hard being such a loving pup - and so adorable too.

Oh George...he's just so loveable. I'd love to know 'puppy language' right along with George....wouldn't that be fun Liz?

I'm glad the little one wasn't afraid of George. He doesn't look very threatening, for sure!
