FREE e-book "8 Things to Know About Veterinary Care"

June 15, 2007

Lilly molested a man in public last Saturday. While shopping at our local farmer’s market, she gave a grandpa-dude quite a shock by kissing the backs of his bare knees as we walked by.

He spun around, like “What the heck?”

Thankfully, he started laughing when he saw her smiling face. I apologized for her boldness, explaining it was somewhat uncharacteristic. Then, he asked if she’s like to visit his grandson, who rode in the stroller he was pushing. So, Lilly “poked” the baby. (That’s her word for targeting with her nose pretty much anything I point at.)

He giggled as her cold nose bumped his bare leg too. Then, she did a bunch of tricks for him, and we went merrily on our way.

Lilly has kissing fits all the time with me and with Tom. Out of the blue, she’ll just start kissing whatever she can reach. Lots of wiggling comes with it. This is the first time she’s done it to a complete stranger.

It’s like she has bursts of joy and the only way to relieve the pressure of being so happy is to lick something.

I rarely see it coming, but I sure wish I could figure out the formula. Maybe it would help in agility.

Then again, maybe she’d just run around and kiss the jump setters or the judge.
