So we all know kids do embarrassing things to their parents. Whether it be asking loud and obnoxious questions in the middle of the shopping centre like "Mummy, where did that man's hair go?" or "Mum is that lady from munchkin land?" or by having tantrums and screaming at the top of their lungs when they don't get their own way.. kids can excel in turning you to a bright shade of crimson.
I have to admit I was pretty lucky with Noah. He only had a couple of moments when he was younger and now he is older and knows better. He knows I have an artillary of things I can use to embarrass him right back. I have a photo album of him in preparation for that moment when I want to pull out the big guns and make him blush. I am sure he would tell you I already embarrass him on a daily basis anyway!
The dog equilavent to embarrassing their owners is humping and I am extremely sad to say that Dexter is a humper. When he was a puppy we could use the excuse that he was trying to show his dominance and he would grow out of it. Now that he is a little older and due to have his "snip snip" operation it is just a tad embarrassing.
The dog park is always interesting. Of course, it is like a humping convention there most times so he is not alone. But the sight of a tiny little Jack Russell trying to get jiggy with a fully grown labrador is a little disturbing! The dog park we have been going to is a little snobby (will write more about my dog park experiences at a later date) so fellow owners and pet lovers are horrified that Dexter has tried to defile their beloved pooch. The fact that their dog has the habit of eating their own crap doesn't seem to bother them. Attempting to laugh off Dexter's behaviour just doesn't seem to fly to these people.
Dexter's latest obsession is my cat Mulder. Whilst I am thrilled that they have become such good friends, I am guessing that Dex is pushing that friendship considerably by constantly air humping like he is dancing in a Britney Spears video whenever Mulder enters the room. Mulder looks up at me like he is expecting me to file a sexual harrassment suit on his behalf. He is so good natured and loving it takes him hours of putting up with this unwanted behaviour before he will swipe at Dexter to get him away. Then Dex just looks at him like "What did I do?" and tries again!
All I can say to Mulder is, two more weeks buddy. Just hang in there! Then Dex will be snipped and hopefully..HOPEFULLY.. the gyrating little air humping will stop and Dex will go back to just giving kisses and cuddles and I will be able to take him into public without fear of him trying to hump every dog and cat he sees!
Hopefully!
