Uncle Fred is not much of a humper. He will obviously attempt to go after females in heat, and sometimes after certain neutered males. However he tends to just fall in love with older, spayed females. It actually looks like romantic love to me.
And he looks and acts like an absolute doof.
For example, today a very nice brindle pittie bitch, spayed and something like six years old came to the dog park. Uncle Fred took one look at her and said "Arooooo" to himself--much like a wolf whistle I think.
Then he approached her, bowed in front of her, and Arooed a couple of more times. Then he did a little dance. At this point, Star, the pittie, looked at her owner for guidance, as in "OK, this dog is insane, what am I supposed to do now?"
He followed her around, looking wistful, but never attempting to actually bother her unless she made the mistake of looking at him. Then he did the bow and "ARRRRROOOOOO" thing again.
This went on for quite a while. She never deigned to pay attention to him, and he clearly didn't appreciate all the people laughing at him.
So do any of your dogs get crushes? And if they do, how do they show it?
