Doggie love!

First, I'm definitely going to try and vlog this for you guys to see, but here is the written version.

It started about a little more than 2 years ago when I took Gypsy for a walk. We met a Pomeranian. It's the one breed of dog that I really dislike! The are noisy, yippy and just unfriendly. Anyway, this is the one breed that Gypsy seems to ADORE. Of course it would be that way. We met Sunny and there was instant attraction! She fell in love. She remained loyal to him no matter who I introduced her to! A beagle, a Labrador, another cocker spaniel, nothing. She is fiercely loyal. It sucks.

Her interactions with Sunny are the funniest thing to watch. Usually dogs sniff each other's behind and when they are courting and the female is in heat, they definitely go for the behind. Not Gypsy.

Every time Sunny tries to sniff her behind, she turns away and never leaves it open. She is a good girl that way. She has a fascination for his ears though. She is very content to smell his ears and go crazy, wagging her tail and bouncing about. She would like him to sniff her ears, he apparently has other areas of interest. I've never seen dogs interact this way and it's the weirdest, cutest thing ever!

The one thing that I'm supremely not supportive of is the fact that when Gyp is in heat, she likes to look for him. At 4am!!!! It is dark outside, cold outside and downright scary on the dark, empty streets. But no. She doesn't care. She whines and whines and then barks if you ignore her! You must take her out! It's ridiculous! This lasts for about 3-4 days. I hate it, but I love her more, so I'm trotting about at 5am (because there is no way I'm stepping outside earlier than that!), in the cold and pretending to talk on my cell phone, keeping my eyes peeled for anything untoward. It borders insanity, but you do what you gotta do I guess.

So we walk for about 2 hours, till Sunny comes out so that she can do some ear sniffing and tail wagging and go home. You'd think that would be it. Oh no. About half an hour later, she'll want to go out again and again and again. This lasts form 4am to about 10am. You are bloody tired after this! She sleeps during the day, so she's up for this 6 hours worth of walking and she gets something out of it. I however, do not. I don't really want legs like Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I can live without this.

But yeah. I love my dog.

And thankfully, this is over now.
