DON’T FORCE ME TO BE SOCIAL!
Do we like everyone we meet? Do we all enjoy socialising and spending time with lots of different people? I certainly don’t and refer to myself as a “caninetrovert” – a person that much prefers to spend time with dogs rather than people. Maybe I’m a little different to the “norm”, but be that as it may, we are all individuals with different personality styles and social preferences.

Some of us are extroverts, gaining energy from interacting with people; some of us introverts, who find people draining and need alone time to recharge our social batteries and some of us are somewhere in between.

If we acknowledge that we are all different in this way, we also need to acknowledge and accept that our dogs are similar.

They could be overly affectionate or fiercely independent, approachable or nervous, energetic or laid back, confident or cautious, sociable, tolerant, selective or reactive.

We may be really disappointed when our dogs turn out not to be the socialite we expected them to be.

Some may even see this as a behaviour problem that needs to be “fixed”. Sometimes it can be improved, especially if the cause is from a negative experience, but genetics, breed tendencies, individual personalities, health and age all contribute to tolerance levels and sociability.

Accept your dog for who they are, allow them to choose whether they want to be sociable or not, respect their choices and never force an interaction that your dog is not comfortable with.

While skin bumps and strange lumps should always be taken seriously, certain types of bumps are more common than you might think.

UPDATE: FAMILY LOCATED! We located a family member who is hoping to adopt Addie, and relocate her to Arkansas!!! Thanks to everyone for your help! We will miss her dearly!

Yesterday, B*K lost one of its favorite customers! He passed away suddenly, and has no family! He left a young black lab named Addie, without a family to love and care for her. B*K has generously offered to care for Addie until a safe, loving home can be found for her! Addie is a 3-day-a-week day care dog. She and we will miss her Dad, terribly!

If you or someone you know is interested in helping Addie out, please call us at (801) 486-6007! We would prefer she go to a family we know, but are open to other potential homes. Addie is a very, very active lab, who has taken some time to acclimate to day care -- we would prefer if she continue to come a couple times a week, or she will lose social skills!!
