Callie Golden Retriever (in the foreground of the photo) is the most social dog I’ve ever known.  She has countless doggie and people friends.  But that doesn’t mean she’s friends with everyone.  She’s selective.  And she has a few favorites.  In this photo, she’s visiting with her Lake Arrowhead neighbors, Reilly, Ruckus, and Rowdy.

But yesterday, she did something that just blew me away.  In our home neighborhood, Callie has two special “boyfriends,” Sampson, a yellow Labrador Retriever, and Lucky, a Golden Doodle.  We were walking with Cousin Maggie Golden Retriever (my daughter’s dog), and joy-of-joys, for Callie, along walks her special friend Sampson.  Maggie is very friendly, too, but when Maggie tried to say “hello” to Sampson, Callie pushed herself in between Maggie and Sampson.  She wasn’t going to let Maggie get anywhere near her “man.”  Where’s the camera when I need it?

Don’t dogs do the most amazing things sometimes?

Have you seen dogs act like this before?  If so, please comment.
