Coo-coo ca-choo (Mrs. Robinson)
No doubt inspired by his "cousin's" recent interest in the opposite sex, Dexter has gone and gotten himself a little crush. She's an older woman. Her name is Shadow, and she's a 6-year-old collie/retriever mix who just moved into the apartment next door. He met her last night, and has been going absolutely nutty ever since. Everytime he hears her in the hallway or smells her outside (and he's got a damn good nose and set of ears, as I would be otherwise oblivious), he starts whining to go outside to see her. He knew about her long before he ever saw her. Her musky, canine perfume must have been lingering in the entranceway of our building for the last couple of days.
Alas, I fear it is unrequited, as she hasn't shown the least bit of interest in him in the two encounters they have shared. Poor little guy.

Go Dex! But don't waste your time if she's not returning the attention. Move on! You're a smart, athletic, handsome dog and you deserve a lady friend who's going to appreciate those qualities in you :-).
