One of our friends invited us over for a little celebration a while back and told us to bring Mauro. Shortly after we got there, Mauro vigorously wagged his tail and accidentally knocked off a dish that was her coffee table. While she was bent over cleaning up, we heard her yelp and knew that Mauro had introduced himself and was apologizing in his own inimitable way. He pokes his nose right under the skirt or the dress - a gesture not particularly popular among the ladies.
After Lucy our Akita who was very much aloof and very much a lady, we wanted a more touchy-feely dog. We got one. If you lay down to rest during the day, he will ask if he can join you on the bed and immediately glue himself as closely as possible to you. He rubs up against you like a cat and, if you smile at him, he will immediately accept that as an invitation to jump up, put his paws on your shoulders and lick your face. Since he is now big enough to do that to me and to look me in the eye while he is doing it, many people find this somewhat upsetting. I guess this is an example of be careful what you ask for, you might get it.
All I can tell you ladies is that when you come to visit don’t dress up. Mauro has a way of leaving slightly drool slimy marks on all textiles. And, please don’t wear a dress.
