“Dear Claudette”Are you cat-weary? Determined to please your people? Having interpersonal problems at the dog park? Let Claudette’s years of wisdom and experience be your guide.
Q: Dear Claudette: I am a beautiful, black, super-shiny lab mix with long legs that go on forever, graceful tail with a nice curl at the end and gorgeous brown eyes like Hershey Kisses. But every dog I meet is only interested in my south end. It’s really annoying! I have a lot to offer, but do you think those ratty terriers at the dog park care What can I do? I’m really at my wits’ end! Brigitte, Seattle WA
A: Dear Brigitte: I hear you girlfriend, because I too am rather foxy. I get my fair share and then some of those unwelcomed cold noses, so here’s what I do: I just sit down. That stops the party. Sometimes an unfriendly growl helps too, but I have noticed that some dogs think I’m just playing hard to get. Whatever. By the way, not all terriers are “ratty”. Pushy yes, but with the right haircut, some of them are quite redeemable. Take a second look next time you’re at the dog park.
