I love meeting people! It’s wonderful when we have visitors, I make the most of them while they’re with us – my own bipeds will still be there when the visitors have gone.

Straight up extrovert for sure!

A dog like Honey would totally hurt my feelings. Blueberry is definitely an introvert. Although she will tolerate other people (some people, anyway) – she makes it perfectly clear that she is with me. It cracks me up how she will put on a show to let others know we belong together.

She was an adorable babydog. I am dying over here!

Introvert dog here – I think having an extrovert dog would drive me crazy 🙂 Maybe it’s egotistical if me but I enjoy being the center of my dog’s world…well, to a point anyway! I’m an introvert myself so we understand each other. But Sienna is so cute that she attracts attention like crazy. It’s actually helped make me more outgoing. I respect her wishes not to be touched by strangers, though, and do my best to protect her from eager admirers that would pet her (how insulting! LOL).

I once had an extrovert dog who sounds like she was just like Honey. We swore that simply visiting the vet’s office cured all sorts of ailments because she got to see all her friends.

In her younger years, I often thought that she would gladly go home with someone besides me. But, as time went on, she showed me that I was her person, no matter what. Sure, she still adored the public, even when she was terminally ill, but she gave me the special looks and came to me when she needed comforting.

I bet that the same is happening with Honey. You just don’t realize it yet 🙂

I grew up with a spaniel, who, although very loving and happy to see her family, like Honey, loved everyone else just as much.
As an adult I purposefully looked for a dog who might not treat a burglar as their new best buddy. So I settled on a sheltie, who are supposed to be reserved around strangers.
Ludo does like his adoring public, however. But for the most part it worked.

Callie and Shadow love all people. Other critters not so much unless they know each other. They loved Gatsby (used to live next door), but not Alex (Gatsby’s bratty brother). Ducky loves other doggies — especially her boyfriend at daycare — but not other people she doesn’t know well, including little kids who move too fast (like the grand kids). I have my work cut out for me getting her better socialized now that she’s not going to daycare as often any more.

Nelly just wants to be with me, Sophie and Theo want to see what’s behind the door!

Yikes about that squeaker!!
Dante is my extrovert, everyone is more interesting than me..well depending on if I have a treat. We’ve been working on his attentiveness a lot recently and it is thankfully getting better! 🙂

Ziva is our introvert except at daycare where she is the social butterfly. But aside from daycare she sticks right by my side or hubby’s side. She’ll greet guests but she isn’t as insane as Dante she’s a bit more dignified I think is how she would describe herself.
