Lily relaxing in the sun.
1. She does NOT like other dogs.
One of my three, 13 year old Ollie, still does not do meets and greets, even after 11 1/2 with me. He was 18 months old when I adopted him, and had been abused. He's never forgotten that. But...and this is a big but...he will enthusiastically take a treat from ANYONE! He never forgets where and from who he has received a treat.My dog is the same. Does not like any dogs...big or small. He is a rescue, and was never socialised as a pup. If I go to the local park I have to run the gauntlet of other off-leash dogs coming up to him. Often, they just want to say hello and I have to explain to the owner that he "does not do hello".
Lily LOVES people, especially her people. She met my sister-in-law yesterday and nearly licked her to death. Other dogs? Nope.One of my three, 13 year old Ollie, still does not do meets and greets, even after 11 1/2 with me. He was 18 months old when I adopted him, and had been abused. He's never forgotten that.

If I were to adopt those two, I'd instantly rename Einstein to Ernie. We all know Bert and Ernie from the Muppets, but I remember them more from my two PC's Limited (before the name change to DELL) network servers for my product engineering group at Motorola in '89 that I'd named Bert and Ernie.
