Funny Dog Story

Funny Dog Story!

Speaking of German Shepherds, I had a female once named Princess. Princess sure played the part of a princess. One of her "unique" habits was to show off everyday when we came home. She would pick up her bowl and carry it around the room in her mouth. She walked slowly but proudly. Her tail would wag and her ears were back. Our part in this ritual was to clap our hands and chant "Look at her."

Princess loved the attention. She was a dog that craved affection, but only on her terms. Our clapping for her would usually last about two or three minutes before Princess would drop the bowl and lay down. It was if she was saying, "That's enough. I'm done." However, if we stopped clapping and chanting first she would not like that.

I am not sure who enjoyed the show more, Princess or our family. One thing is for sure, Princess would do it every time we saw her, and we continued doing our part for all ten years that we had her. What a funny dog story.
