My Dogs Tried to Impress a Girl! đ¶đđ
It all started when we went to the park on a sunny afternoon. I had just let my two Golden Retrievers, Max and Leo, off-leash in the dog area when she walked inâa beautiful golden retriever named Daisy, accompanied by her equally charming owner. Max and Leo stopped mid-fetch. Eyes locked. Tails stiff. The competition had begun.
Leo, always the show-off, made the first move. He grabbed the biggest stick he could find (it was more like a branch) and carried it toward Daisy like it was a bouquet of roses. He dropped it at her feet, puffed out his chest, and looked back at me like, âDid you see that?â
Daisy sniffed it, wagged her tail slightly, and turned away.
Max wasnât about to be outdone. He ran over to the water fountain, stood up on his hind legs, and hit the button with his paw to make the water spray. He acted like heâd just discovered fire. Daisy glanced overâmildly amusedâbut still unimpressed.
Then came the grand finale.
Leo and Max teamed up and sprinted toward the nearby agility course. They had never shown interest in it before. Suddenly, they were leaping through hoops, climbing ramps, and weaving between poles like Olympic athletes. Daisy stopped chasing her tennis ball and actually watched.
At that moment, Leo tried one last jump⊠and missed. He tumbled into Max, they both went rolling off the ramp, and landed in a tangled heap of fur and paws.
Daisy trotted over slowly, sniffed them, and gave Max a sweet little lick on the nose.
Success.
My dogs looked proud, tails wagging in victory. As for me? I got a smile and a âyour dogs are adorableâ from Daisyâs owner. So heyâmaybe everyone won that day.
