Oh well, it's Isabelle's loss. She did look awfully lonely in her yard the other day. Too bad she's not social. Guess she's a "trophy dog?"

Well, some dogs are like that. I personally disdain manners. I'm philosophically opposed to them. Playing is what we're supposed to do. Someone forgot to tell Isabelle.

um...I'm a bit socially challenged until my ball comes out. Roo has different issues that prevents her from play dates right now.
Mom said it's not Izzy's fault -- it's her parents fault for thinking that she doesn't need to socialize or play. Kind of like kids who are taught to be adults from age 2 struggle in play dates.
And Lola, um... wasn't she the one barking during your party while you were snoozing up on a chair? Seems that those manners aren't always perfected.
Lola on Sep 26 at 09:27 AM
You are right. It's not her fault, and I do feel bad for her. I think she's lonley. And she does bark. A lot. 'Specially in the morning!

Playing is for babies... Can't everyone just settle for a good butt sniffing and call it a day?
Dolly on Sep 26 at 09:29 AM
Don't mind my brother - he's a dud! I would have played with you, Lola. I think you're pretty!

I love to play, like, constantly. We have a neighbor Schnauzer who is a dull boy & when he does come sniff us, his parents call him away. Party Poopers!!!!

I can't imagine not wanting to play with you....even though I'm older, I still love a good sniffin' and maybe a slow game of chase...I wear out a little quicker these days. But when I was a youngster, like you, I could hold my own in a good game of chase. I bet Izzy is lonely too....you have a great family, Lola....and it shows, 'cause you are a happy doggie.

I can't imagine not wanting to play with you, Lola. You're the sweetest and prettiest gal on IP!

**blushing**, Oh Stuie...

When walking on the street, we're taught to ignore other dogs. However, in the right setting, I'm friendly enough, just not the Jack Russel type of friendly. A nice sniff and wag will do for the queen.
Brumley on Sep 27 at 01:11 PM
Yeah, I ignore dogs on the street, too. At the Pyr Romps, however, I can be rowdy and playful. The other dogs are my same size, all over 100 lbs, and can take the rough and tumble.

The Princess begs your pardon!
While Lola is lovely and at least two songs have been written for her, (Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets..." from Damn Yankees and "Lola, loo loo loo loo, Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola..." there are other lovely ladies here on IP... including MOI! ME!
The Princess will accept your apology.
Emma on Sep 27 at 02:10 PM
There, there lovely Lola. You must understand that the neighbor dog is insecure and not very sociable. Why, there have been times when the Princess has deigned to ignore others. Don't look at it as her ignoring YOU, she was ignoring EVERYONE!
Pay her no mind. The next time you see her, remain your own ladylike self. If she chooses not to speak, simply smile and take the high road. Perhaps in time she will learn.
Toodles!

Personally I hate to be ignored. I'm friendly with everyone. Mom says I never meet a stranger. I think everybody should love me and pat me on the head and scratch me behind BOTH ears and give me treats. The problem is, not everyone agrees with. Don't worry, it's her loss.
