She's out of your league, Leo

Dream high, dream big, but be realistic, Leo. The Danes are out of your league.

Little Leo is still intact and he has noticed the difference between male and female dogs. He's taken a real liking to the girls. Maya just put him off with a zero tolerance approach to unwelcome advances. The Danish girls are little more tolerant, or maybe they just find him amusing. It's cute when straight boys try to date out of their league.

He'd have more luck getting attention from them if he'd just do a play bow and than take off running. They might respond to that, but trying to mount them just results in getting shaken off and occasionally getting reprimanded.

Because he's a Covid-19 captive like the rest of us he's not going anywhere soon, so I'm not rushing him in to be neutered. I'd like for him to have the hormonal benefit to his growth for a while. He still needs to put on weight. He is gaining some now since he's been wormed, but he's still a scrawny teenager with a metabolism that I can only envy. He can pack away as much food as the Danes, or more, with only a small weight gain.

While working outside in my new container garden, I opened
the back of the van to provide some dog bed space.

Della initially growled at Leo and chased him
off when he merely approached the van.

She made it clear that he was not welcome.

Serena is usually more tolerant of him than Della is.

Kissing up to Della. Nice try, but it's not going to happen.
