We got a visiting dog today. Her name is Happy and she is a Mira dog. Well, actually she is a Labernese: a cross between a Labrador and a Mountain Bernese, but since she’s owned by Mira she’s a Mira dog.
Mira is an organisation that provides helping-hand and seeing-eye dogs to people who need that kind of assistance. But before the dogs go into training they have to grow up first so the puppies satay in foster families until they’re one year old. One of those foster families is a reader of loglog and she asked me if I could take care of Happy now-and-then when she can’t take the dog with her.
Before I’ll do that I wanted to see how our dogs reacted to her, so I asked her to come by and see how the combination of Happy, Poupoune and Pepe would fare. Well, it turned out as expected. Pepe made friends and Poupoune just growled. Poupoune doesn’t like other dogs, not even cute little puppies.
Happy was a bit scared, she wasn’t used to being growled at.
So after this little experiment I decided it was probably a better idea to go to Happy’s house than to bring Happy into ours.
