Yesterday I found that the mother and young kid were crossing the street on their bike. Elza and I stopped for their passing.
Suddenly the kid left his bike and ran toward us!!! That's opposite plan I thought.
I held the leash short and girded. Soon after, the kid reached us and "hugged" Elza tightly with the cycling helmet on, bam:rolleyesww:
Wow! Elza frozed.
I realized that I know this kid who has grown up with his grandpa's dobe!
Grandpa runs the company, so he's the President (Shacho).
Son = Senior Managing Direcor (Senmu)
Dobe's name = Managing Director in Japanese, "Jomu"
and the kid is the son's child, I call him Mini-Senmu.

He asked me how old Elza is. I said 4, then he said "Well, I used to be 4." :roflmao: Now 5.
His dobe career is longer than mine!

Jomu lives in the grandpa's company facility. His staff must call the dobe, "Jomu" as a dog's name.
Whenever I meet their family on the street, I ask them "How's Jomu doing?"
Their reply is like "Jomu's doing fine. He chased a cat the other day."
This conversation sounds weird enough to passerby. What kind of "person" is this "Managing Director"? look:D

Any funny stories or conversation?

I was talking about Elka at work, as I do. I forget what the story was, something adorable that she had done. A patron was checking books out and listening, and then as an afterthought said "Oh, and what kind of dog is she?" I always smile sweetly and say "She's a Doberman." Sometimes they just kind of say "oh" and leave (this has happened on more than one occasion, as you can imagine), and other times they engage further.

I love that the Doberman's name is "Managing director" :D

That's so funny!

Walking ******* the other day, I was lucky enough to be approached by an "expert" on Dobermans. Conversation went as follows:

Expert: "Good looking Doberman! You don't see too many around here."
Me: "Thank you. I know, it's such a shame."
Expert: "I've grown up around Dobermans, know people who have them, blah blah blah blah (ok they weren't actually saying blah blah blah, but I stopped listening).
Me: "Dobermans are awesome dogs. Can't help but love them!"
Expert: "Are you going to get those ears cropped or leave them?"
Me: "She's a year old."
Expert: <blank stare>
Me: "Leave them. Well, have a good day."

:confused:

I have so many weird Doberman experiences with people!! This is the most recent, and probably the strangest..

There was this one woman that I saw while walking Brandy. I wasn't close to her at all, plus Brandy was on a tight leash, and we were on the other side of the street, so it wasn't like Brandy was going anywhere. All of a sudden, this woman lets out this huge scream, which almost gave me a heart attack. I looked around to see if there was some kind of potential murderer running towards us, but I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Then started backing away and yelling: "Keep it away!!" I had no idea she was talking about Brandy at all, until she pointed and stared at us with the most horrified look on her face that I have ever seen on a person. So I was like okay then.. I went to turn around, and she called out to me and attempted to apologize, saying that she was just really scared of dogs, then turned around and ran down a different street.

I thought she was being really dramatic.. I mean, I understand if someone is scared of dogs, but what did she think Brandy was going to do to her? Break the leash, run across a road of cars, then run all the way down the sidewalk to where she was, and then maul her? Does she do that every single time someone walks past with a dog? Anyway, it was a strange encounter..

I also get a LOT of people that say "Is he nice?" As well as "Does he bite?"

I have also had a lot of little kids run up and hug Brandy around the neck randomly, which could be potentially dangerous with another dog, but luckily for them, Brandy just sits there patiently. Then of course the parents march over with their "What are you DOING?", and drag the kid away with some kind of speech about how they were "almost mauled", and then give me some kind of judgmental look. Funny, but it seemed to me that my dog was more well-behaved than their kid!

Well it's good they ask you if he bites or if he is nice. Do you know how many adults I know that I told please don't pet my dog he bites that didn't listen the best excuse I heard was animals love me and that quick my cute little springer spaniel bit the face of a friend, and kids would run up to us as I walked him because he was a beautiful dog they would want to pet him and I would yell out no he bites. But really people shouldn't assume dogs are nice, you never know. I always ask if a dog is ok to pet big small dosent matter. I try to tell my kids that to.
