Theory on why dogs like me lol

I was just going to wash my jacket so emptying the pockets I've a roll of poo bags and three bags of biscuits, dried chicken and liver treats. Nate reckons I must be a dogs dream person to meet

Might explain why a mini dachshund nearly climbed up my leg out earlier, if I didn't have so many stairs I'd be tempted he was adorable !

I'm off to the rescue later with some chrissie pressies, I've been sworn to be good and not bring anyone home just to foster over Christmas unlike last year.


Mind my husband came home with a tiny kitten yesterday he found in the woods when out with Elsie, poor little thing riddled with fleas and so very cold. Vet says wouldn't have survived the night. Can't stay we just don't have a cat friendly lifestyle but I've got three people already wanting her. So I don't think she's going to be homeless over Christmas.

Worst of all Julie, all animals love me for some reason, but don't let a male Donkey near me, I have only got to touch their face and they are mounting me, why?

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

Oh Susie ... how embarrassing for you. I've had cats hang amorously onto my leg but never a donkey.

Bet you steer clear of donkey rides at the seaside.

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

Now donkeys and goats I'm not so keen on they always find some way to pee in my shoes ! Although I prefer that to being mounted I guess

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

I love donkeys, always have done.
I also kept dairy goats for nearly 20 years, but never had one pee in me shoes! The males get very fruity in the breeding season though - don't ever turn your back on them!

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

Dogs like me because I don't talk to them too much !
I believe in body language which animals pick up on I am calm and happy when I ride hence quite nervous horses are calm with me .
Unfortunately this doesn't work on humans!
Monkeys also like me but I am afraid of them they have sharp teeth and are too like us !
Although having said that baby orang utans are so like human babies you just have to hold them .

Donkeys are just too adorable I wonder if I could fit one in the back garden .........

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

I do love the Donkeys and Goats.

Every year I go to the Hopefield Horse Santurary, where apart from Horses they have Donkeys, Goats, Cows, Birds etc. I now make sure that the Donkeys are inside the Pen when I stroke them.

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

I used to have two little pygmy goats who lived near me, they were so sweet. I used to save them treats, they were always so excited when they saw me, nothing to do with the treats you understand

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

Goes without saying, Summer. They realised the treat was YOU all the time.
Q: Why do animals need treats?

Re: Theory on why dogs like me lol

We all like treats plops, I bet even you like treats now and then
