Mr. N loves meeting new people and getting attention. He tried so hard
to make friends with a visitor and pulled out all
the stops. Bringing a toy over, flopping over for a belly rub, looking at
her pleadingly with puppy eyes and tongue sticking out. Nothing worked
and she gingerly petted him once or twice (she is not afraid of dogs, just not an animal person). Mr. N was dumbfounded that there
was someone who didn't want to pet him. Everyone wants to pet him!
I totally understand. Some humans are just plain odd!
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are!
DeletePoor Mr N dont be sad it just happens sometimes maybe that human like Emma said was just plain odd
ReplyDeleteHaha. I think this may be the first time this has happened to him.
DeleteI always feel sad for the people that don't like dogs (or animals in general). Their lives lack something so special.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's like people who don't like kids?
DeleteHaha, I just do not understand that lady!! And you tried so hard!! I would pet you anytime :D
ReplyDeleteHe's glad someone appreciates him!
DeleteThat must've been so confusing for Mr N! Don't worry, cutie, I would pet you endlessly!
ReplyDeleteHe was very puzzled.
DeleteI can see how that would throw you, Mr. N. "Not an animal person" is crazy-talk. Part of my job at Read to a Pet Night is to help kids who are afraid of dogs to learn how to approach a dog and pet him/her. It's tough to understand, but I do my best.
ReplyDeleteLove and licks,

Oh Mr. N has actually gotten kids who were afraid to pet him. And even some Muslim kids to pet him. So he was very confused.
DeleteWhat! With that adorable face, you'd have to drag me away. The mind boggles how someone wouldn't fall for that cutie.
ReplyDeleteHis mind is boggled!
DeleteLOL, we know how you feel! One of our friends has a girlfriend who clearly doesn't like dogs. She doesn't want to Pet them at all or acknowledge them in any way. At least you got a pat or two for your efforts, Mr N!
ReplyDeleteLove & biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
When I was younger, I wasn't a huge dog fan but the dogs I met were very rowdy lol. Mr. N generally is pretty delicate about demanding attention. Insistent but delicate.
DeleteOh we totally get it! Our grampy is not an animal person and we just don't understand why he doesn't want to get on the floor and give us belly rubs! BOL!
ReplyDeleteAww sad!
DeletePenny does not compute when someone doesn't want to pet her either!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite puzzling.
DeleteI'm also dumb founded! N is so sweet and he tried so hard!
ReplyDeleteHe did try very hard. It was kind of sad to watch!
DeleteWho could resist that sweet face? Animals seem to know when someone needs to be converted to a pet lover...sounds like you did all you could, Mr. N!
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
I'm sure he's plotting other things in his tiny brain.
DeleteI am totally in shock here, who could refuse you :(
ReplyDeleteHaha. I think he's still in shock!
DeleteWhat? What is wrong with this person? I understand his confusion. I'd be a bit suspicious of them.....
ReplyDeleteEven cat people like him!
DeleteBOL!!! we know ... happens to SUGAR too. Don't let that bother you ... You are Special. Woofs from SUGAR
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! He sends his love to you and Sugar.
DeleteLOL too funny- Kilo would try to eat them then if they played hard to get, he'd try to win them over and be on their lap.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Mr. N barks when people first come in and within five minutes, he tries to settle in their lap.
DeleteOh poor wee chappie eh? Mr N tried so hard to please :-) Try someone else they might be much more fun!
ReplyDeleteWe tried to bribe him with other things but he kept trying!
DeleteSounds like you were dumbfounded as well. My whole family loves animals, except for one sister. She wants nothing to do with them. I don't understand. Say hi to precious Mr. N for me!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I was. Even people who don't like dogs usually like him! He says hi back.
DeletePoor Mr N, he is so adorable I know mom would find him irresistible, only if I wasn't there as she isn't allowed to give other dogs attention in front of me. I don't like strangers but if they give me treats I'll take it and remember them the next time. Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteMr. N is not thrilled about it but he allows it. He was very puzzled when I had toddlers in my lap and he couldn't sit there.
Deletehehe Thinking of poor Mr. N doing his best moves and being shut down. Maybe next time buddy!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he's plotting his next move!
DeleteAw, if that look doesn't work, nothing will. Haha!
ReplyDeleteHe's working on his puppy eyes.
DeletePoor Mr. N, I am sure the next ten people he saw couldn't get enough of him! He's such a cutie pie and so clever.
ReplyDeleteHe was very insistent that we go into a store today to say hello.
DeleteI'm not sure how anyone can resist him!
ReplyDeleteThat's how he feels lol.
DeleteThen I say "there's something wrong with them"
ReplyDeleteHaha. That's Mr. N's take.
DeleteIt's so strange when that happens. Makes me think the human might be from another planet.....
ReplyDeleteIt was very strange for sure.
DeleteThat behaviour is so like my cat Charlie, he'll happily expose his belly to strangers and demand attention...most of the time it works!
ReplyDeleteAw, rats. I'll bet, if you had more time, you would have won her over.

This is very hard to believe. I wanted to grab him up and give him all sorts of cuddles when I met him at BlogPaws.
ReplyDeleteMy Memphis is the same way! She is always confused when people walk past her and don't try to pet her!
