Oh I can understand that. It just makes you look like a different person. If she was used to your voice and you spoke, she probably put it together.

Children can be like that too. My favorite story was visiting my aunt in Colorado. Our daughter was maybe 5? My parents were there too. When we all got up in the morning my aunt did not have her wig on. She had short hair and her wig was short too. Maybe a little different color? But she didn't have her wig or makeup on and my little girl looked confused. She was looking around and finally said, where is Aunt June? It took us a minute to realize that she heard her voice but she didn't recognize her! It was hysterical. My aunt quietly left the room and came back dressed as 'Aunt June.' All was well in my little girl's world again. :D

Do you ever have to get them a friend? I had a singleton chick last year and he did ok alone, we put stuffed chickens in with him and a mirror for him to admire himself. But he really perked up when we added 3 others 2 weeks later. There was lots of crying out loud for us before we added more chicks.

I had one unfortunate experience with a duckling that was raised by herself. That was the one I mentioned that hatched after the mother and other ducklings left the nest. We found duckling had cracked the egg and was having a hard time getting out of the shell, so we peeled it. We let the duckling dry off and tried to put it with its siblings. That didn't work out because the mother ignored it. At that age, they need the body heat of the mother to survive. I took it home and that was the only duckling we had at the time. We called her The Egg. When The Egg went home, she didn't want to be with the ducks and went looking for people and dogs. The dogs didn't know what to make of her because when they tried to herd her, she ran up to them. We couldn't keep her because females are very noisy and I live in town. Male ducks are quiet and we had one for two summers until he decided to pick on Anna. A duck challenging a Doberman is not a smart move. One of my neighbors had chickens and had to get rid of them. The Egg took about a week before she adjusted to being a duck, but we felt bad for her. She was really upset at first.
 
This picture is about AJ, not of AJ.

Do you ever get beaked when working on the computer? For instance, just as you're about to SAVE something and your mouse is hovering over the button, your Dobie beaks you so as you're pressing the mouse button, the cursor moves from SAVE to EXIT? And you want to strangle your dog?

For once, being beaked helped me! I'm a prospective Barn Hunt judge and am now at the stage where I have to design courses and judge fun runs. I was given templates for Gliffy and am trying to figure out how to use it. I couldn't figure out how to rotate the hay bale symbol, so had to copy it onto the course and use the pixel editor to redefine it which is very time consuming.

Below you can see the rotate symbol above the bale. I assumed it was like the symbol on many picture editors and you have to click it to rotate the symbol. For a month, I'd try doing that with every setting I could think of to no avail. I was idly clicking on it wondering what to do when AJ walked up to me and beaked my elbow. It moved! It's a drag function, not a click function!

Good boy, AJ!

Haha, beaked is the right word for it! Since working from home, I've learned to preempt his beaking buy lifting my knee to block him. But they're fast! :woot2:

Going swimming very soon! We rented a dock diving pool for an hour this evening. This will be her second time in the water already. Dad will be going in with her for lots of encouragement and guidance. Starting young!

Wow! In the water already! I took Robin to the town landing to see the water, but she wasn't interested. It tasted yucky, and there were too many other distractions like nasty lobster shells, clam shells, and some disgusting fishy smelling brown thing with embedded gravel. How could I have forgotten how bad the working waterfront is for puppies? LOL
