This morning I took time on my way to work to stop by and visit with my wonderful friend Claudia and meet Max the little guy to help heal her heart. I also finally got to meet Nita their other Sato dog. It was early yet, but I know they are always in early to start work, and the dogs are always at work with them.
I first met her husband outside and asked him to let her know I was here to say hi. Needless to say I was very very warmly welcomed with a huge hug and 2 very excited doggies to meet someone new. It was so wonderful to see her smiling again, and the shadows gone from her eyes.
Max is a doll, and both dogs greeted me enthusiastically. I do believe though that sitting down on the couch was the invitation to them to see if they could be lap doggies, sniff me all over and cover me in wonderful sloppy wet doggie kisses. Poor Claudia, I think she was a tad embarrassed that Nita is very very friendly and has excellent aim, meaning the minute you open your mouth to speak, if Nita is withing striking distance, she'll getcha in the mouth with her tongue. I should say blech, but being around animals all my life, somehow you don't really think blech or think twice about being french kissed by a pooch! It happens, and I think the doggies love it. I think they like our reactions best, and it's play for them. Of course they had to sniff me all over get the smells from all my pets, rub on me to share their smell for my bunch, and kept giving lots and lots of lovely doggie kisses. I finally had to stand up so I could talk without defending my mouth from Nita's tongue. Don't get me wrong, I loved the two pups, however it's hard to visit with your friend with such distractions. LOL
As Claudia and I visited and talked for a bit, at one point I made the mistake of standing too close to the couch again. It was close enough for Nita to be on and give me my Christmas goose early. She got me about 3 times before I realized I'd been goosed, still not awake I guess. Ok, so I probably turned a bit red in the face when I realized it. Dogs think nothing about sniffing and goosing each other, but we just don't quite communicate that way. I think Claudia was almost as red as I was when she asked if I was ok, and I told her Nita had goosed me.
Anyhow, it made my morning to see my friend smiling again, laughing, and enjoying the antics and play of the two dogs who took to each other like they were meant to be together. And the doggie kisses were great.
Thank you Claudia for being my friend, and for allowing me to meet your two wonderful pups!
Here's a pic of the two.
