Callie Golden Retriever loves to make friends at Lake Arrowhead Village — both people friends and doggie friends.  Yesterday, she sat patiently with Cody, a lovely Australian Shepherd puppy, while Barbara and I had lunch at the waffle restaurant.  The restaurant has some nice outdoor seating, so Callie can sit in the shade just a few feet away from us while we eat brunch — at the edge of Lake Arrowhead.

You don’t have to watch a dog for very long, sometimes, to get a feel for its personality.  Well, Cody was really fun to watch.  He’s just full of beans and energy.  Inquisitive.  Friencly.  Non-threatening.  But very confident.  He’ll be a great, well-socialized adult.

Callie loved Cody, but that’s not unusual.  Callie, too, is an incredibly well socialized doggie.  It’s especially fun to see her interact with smaller dogs, because she plays a very humble and submissive role.  She tries to make herself smaller (lower) than the other dog, and it pretty much always works!
