This is my new friend Duke,
a Doberman
who is only 4 months old.
He took a shining to my new yellow ball
so I figured this would be a learning moment for Duke.
As you can see,
the ball never left his mouth
and I figured that's OK
sharing was the point of all this.
I played coy and ignored Duke many times.
Alas, Duke was too young to realize
that he was supposed to give up the ball
every now and again!
So we shared and played
until his Daddy had to go home.
I really hope to run into Duke again.
He had a great demeanor.
Very sweet! :-)

You've got lots to teach Duke, Sophie. But he looks like he'll be great fun to play with.

Sophie, Duke was the perfect dog for you!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Duke will have more play days with you so he can learn the correct way to play ball!
ReplyDeleteSophie, you are a very good girl for sharing.....you know how these kids are :)
ReplyDeleteOh Sophie, what better teacher for Duke than you! Such a lady!
ReplyDeleteI saw a a Labradoodle the other day and instantly thought of you.
Coming to visit you is on my bucket list!

ReplyDeleteThe last walk that I took by our stream, I played and played with Chloe, a 2 year old Dobie. Ahhhhh.

Oh Sophie -you are such a sweet natured dog- x
ReplyDeleteSophie, you're the perfect mentor and friend to help those young pups who are still learning things like how to share--Your Dad's have done a great job teaching you manners! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can tell that Sophie is quite the lady. I'm sure she'd make a great mother too.
ReplyDeleteHey Sophie!
ReplyDeleteWow, Duke looks like a ton of fun! Boy, he's kinda large for a 4 month old pup! BOL If he gets any bigger, you'll have to let him keep your toy as long as he wants!! BWAR HAR HAR
Grr and Woof,

Duke is a very handsome young guy...I'm sure that you did not miss that detail! You were so patient and understanding with him. I'm sure you will become fast friends, but you may need to get another ball :)
ReplyDeleteAwe Sophie, you are such a sweetheart! Duke could learn a lot from you. He's a real cutie.. and you are such a kind girl.
ReplyDeleteDuke is going to be one handsome dog, he already looks great and he's just a pup! It's nice that you let him play with your ball, maybe next time he will share ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely manners you have, Miss Sophie.
ReplyDeleteYou were very patient with that big pup! Good girl.
ReplyDeleteHi Sophie
ReplyDeleteI think you would be a great teacher..If only you could spend more time together

That was very kind of you Sophie to 'let' Duke monopolize your NEW yellow ball. Your willpower is amazing :)

Hi Y'all,
ReplyDeleteDuke seems like a well socialized fellow. Hope he learns to share before a less generous playmate teaches him the hard way.
Y'all come by now,
