Poor old Floydie! Now he is getting bigger, people are not so interested in giving him a fuss all the time like when he was tiny .. I had warned him that this day would come, but he is still wagging his little bottom madly at people and they just walk past (Floyd's eek) Much easier for me to teach him to not go ballistic with strangers, so it's good for me, I just feel sorry for him ... he must wonder why no one is interested anymore:rolleyes: Silly mummy - 'spect he isn't hurt "deep inside" at all, and its just me feeling sorry for him

I know how you feel, I have a dobe and this exact thing has happened with us! blade just doesn't seem to understand that not everybody loves him like we do :-D
What breed is floyd?

Hi,
He's a BC (WSD), lovely little boy.
Still, I have to say it beats having those strange people who come up to you, oh no, not you, the dog actually, and then proceed to talk to the dog as tho you;re not there at all, even if you try to make conversation with them, and then get up and leave as though you were just an inconvenience attached to the other end of the lead People do make me laugh!
I have told Floyd though he will always be beautiful to me and I will always be pleased to see him, so hopefully this softens the blow a little LOL

Know the feeling! Nips still has a residue of cute but instead of absolutely everyone making a fuss of him we've now had the "is he one of those bitey little white terriers?" question. Perhaps the it makes the pups feel more grown up though. :D

I'm sure Floyds feeling more grown up cause he is getting more and more of a mind of his own. Sometimes he looks at me like, "and you think I'm going to do that just cause you asked me? Ha!" Then again, when he went for a drink in the stream the other day and went down a bank that was too steep and nearly did a handstand in the water, he didn't look like he felt too grown up then LOL.
