Pooches: Social Lessons from Miss M

We know most of our photos and stories about Miss M show her a bit like this. Though when we were talking to our friend Kim she said we really need to show more about the true nature of Miss M:
Miss M as the outgoing social butterfly who absolutely loves people.

Despite what our photographs capture, Miss M is the most outgoing member of our family. She spends every moment possible trying to meet new people.
It's really Mr. B who does not seem to understand social cues. People will excitedly run up to meet him and he will often seem disinterested, walk away, or give better eye contact to a pizza box.

While A and I are both shy people, we have been observing and picking up some tips from Miss M our very own social butterfly:

Always meet strangers as if they are your long lost best friend: Whenever anyone wants to meet her, Miss M's lips will curl in preparation for a kiss, her hips will wiggle with excitement and she will rush toward the person. She meets everyone as if they are best friends she have been waiting to meet her whole life.

Be completely engaged in whatever the stranger is saying or doing: Once she has met her 'new' best friend, she is completely engaged in whatever the person is saying or doing. It is almost impossible to continue our walk, because this 'new' best friend has become the most interesting person in the world.

Accept compliments with sincerity: More often than not, the 'new' best friends will compliment her beauty, personality, softness of her fur, etc. and you can just see Miss M graciously accepting the compliment and saying, "I know".

Don't get discouraged if people do not say hi back: Sometimes, Miss M will try to meet people that somehow have not fallen under her charm and rather than getting upset, she will move onto to the next stranger until someone becomes her 'new' best friend.

Don't be self-conscious and just say hi: Possibly the best lesson, is that she is eager to say hi to everyone. She is unabashed and loves meeting new people and the only way to meet new people is to say hi to a complete stranger.

I guess we are lucky to have Miss M to teach us so much. 

Is anyone else getting social lessons from your pup?

If you don't believe us, see it in action at 1:07 of this video. (Can you believe they have never met before?) And the bottom video here. 

Though sometimes it's sad. 

So we always need to remember things like this.
