Racist

I think Vasco's racist :p This afternoon when I was taking him out to do his thing, one of the girls who live next door asked if she could come walk Vasco with me. I was glad for this because Vasco hasn't had much interaction with children so this would be a good chance for him to do so. Her name is Camilla and she's in the 5th grade. I think she's a native, or at least of African decent. Anyway, Vasco was focused on getting to his plot of grass, found his spot and proceeded to pee.. in the process he looked up and saw Camilla. He then did this crazy kick spin thing with his legs and started barking at her. It was actually kind of funny, but he kept going on and was getting distracted from the main reason why he was out. My impression was that he had never had anyone with darker skin stay so close before. Strange as that is since the natives here in Grenada are mostly of African decent. Color blind or not, he can tell the difference. But after about 2 min he seemed to be a little better with her around. She asked if she and her sister could come over sometimes to play with Vasco. I said that that would actually be great. It'll help familiarize him with those of darker skin and children at the same time. It's great.

He's such a poser :)

Addendum:
Though now that I think about it, it may be because he was protecting his territory. He kind of considers where he does his business 3 times a day as his. I do remember now, that he did bark at this one white lady hanging her laundry out. So maybe that's it... Either way, more exposure to diverse populations will be good for him. :)
