My dog gets very excited to wear her collar and leash. It either means we are going in the car, maybe to work (which she loves) or we are going for a walk. We take pretty long walks and run into neighbors, many of them with dogs, and we have a lot of meet and greet going on here. Mine, being a female, is friends with all the other dogs. The males here tend to bark at each other, even though they are, as far as I know, all fixed. Mine just stands calmly when she meets a new dog and lets them sniff her all over. She’s very patient with it. My best guess is since she was used to hunting in a pack, so this was normal behavior for her and she just accepts it. She has never barked at another dog – not even with joy. She has, rarely, let out a tiny whine of joy when we go into the hospital. I wish Buckles loved his collar and leash. If he didn’t pull, it probably wouldn’t be uncomfortable.

My Grandpa used the same phrase, but he didn’t use the word spit.

I don’t get the meaning of that phrase, though.

Reminds me of when Dogbert used Dilbert’s hand to cover his sneeze.

Buckles, there are dogs in the pound who would love to be in your position.
