Okay, time to fess up.Let's go back to where I was loading those groceries and I'll finish... So this guy walks up, says, "My God, you're gorgeous!" and I turn around and say, "You mean the dog, not me, right?" At first his face was a sketch of bewilderment, then he turned red and stammered something unintelligible, waving a hand vaguely at Sully, my 165 lb dog, who (as usual) had half his body hanging out the back of the SUV, hoping I'd toss him some food -- any food.
Happens all the time. Dog loving strangers will walk up and say things like, "Well, aren't you beautiful!" or "You're so lovely I just had to come meet you!" and though I know they're talking to Sully and probably haven't noticed me at all, I usually allow myself a few happy seconds to pretend they're talking to me.
Wouldn't you?

That is hilarious. Though I'll admit I've done the same thing. I can't pass by a good looking hunting dog without making comment.
By the way, we got you package yesterday. The boys loved it. Many thanks.
Betcha he didn't sputter one word that made sense for some time. I myself woulda given a little bow and said, Nah, I meant YOU, of course!
Oh boy, Holly. You know what? I could really use someone coming up to me and saying that, LOL!
Oh, Holly, I love this!
It would feel wonderful to have someone say that though wouldn't it?!
Another reason not to have any pets, they get all the compliments
Maybe I should get myself a big ole adorable dog like you!
Ugh! If only one could lock into that split second and freeze it for a little bit hmmmm?
Glad they liked it, Travis.
I hope they have fun w/the snow!
Adam, you are too kind. Possibly drunk as well?
Spyscribbler, I hear yah!
Kyla-Dale, the older I get the further removed I am from those comments, so yes, it would.
Patti, I know you're not a big pet lover are yah? Possibly it's your neighbor's dogs who're poisoning you? I've never known a time where we HAVEN'T had pets of some sort. They can be a burden but also very rewarding too.
Victoria, only if you have LOADS of extra room at your house.
Ramona, my point exactly. Which is why I always get a secret thrill when I hear it said to the dog! Pathetic, huh?
LOL! You are wicked. In a very good way, of course.
Nothing like dogs and babies for attracting attention and starting conversations.
Guilty AND a victim! I often ignore strangers in favor of fawning over their dogs, but it's a trick I only learned by owning one of the world's cutest puppies and finding myself the ultimate afterthought! Because Winston comes to the office with me, the office tour often included a pass by my door and the words, "And here's WINSTON!" And then, as they were turning to leave, "And that's Winston's mom... Katie."
I don't mind, though... I'm so dog-proud!
I'm like that with horses.
GOSH what a good mover!!! and the person looks at me really strange lol!
