i get fustrated by lu sometimes and later i get a little sad that she's so headlong she can't enjoy other dogs and kids. she's so strong and goes gaga and she could do some hurt.
otherwise, when it's just the two of us, except for the coprophilia she is great, she's curious and calmly exploring. coprophilia is probably the wrong word, yeah, actually it's coprophagia, i don't think she gets sexually excited, and i should have known that was the human version. though who knows, with dogs it's not so clinical, we just say she eats poop. anyway thoughts often lead to poo. i just feel bad that her enthusiasm overwhelms many dogs and folks she just wants to love. i know she gets plenty love, but she wants to socialize, and she just doesn't know how to. except when she's calm, and thank goodness she is with me, and she is with others, after she goes bonkers, i think, though by then i usually have already peeled her away. we may have to wait in fondest hopes that age will mellow her, though i heard of a 12 year old that was still that way.
