Paws for thought

Grandad February 25th, 2008

Sandy and I were out the other day.  We went for a walk, and then decided to stop off for a coffee and a smoke.  Sandy doesn’t smoke but she enjoys her cappuccino [no sugar].

I like to think of this as our little bit of quality time.

Me: Well?  Did you enjoy that walk?

Sandy: It was all right.  I would have preferred it if you had let me off the lead.  I find it very irritating when you pull me when I’m having a dump.

Me: sorry about that.  I didn’t realise…

Sandy: The arched back, the tail in the air and the look on my face didn’t give you a clue?

Me: I said I’m sorry.

Sandy: Can I drive on the way back?

Me: I suppose so.  But try to keep to the speed limits this time.

Sandy: But I like seeing the faces on other drivers when I overtake them.

Me: You’ll get me into trouble one of these days.

Sandy: You are so anal about these things.  Loosen up.

Me: what are you doing?

Sandy: Trying to attract that woman’s attention.  I need a nap, and you need someone to talk to.

Me: Stop messing.

Sandy: It’s working.  She’s coming over.

Woman: Oh,what a beautiful dog.  You look so intelligent.  What’s your name, Diddums?

Sandy: Woof.

Liked it.
Nominate it.

    Oops! What happened to my comment? I pressed the button.

    I’ll try again.

    73, Grandad and I are old enough to remember a talking horse, so talking dogs are only a stage further.

    Now understanding a talking dog is a horse of a different colour! ;)

    73 - The only thing my dog is hopeless at is spelling.

    A dog is a dog is a dog, of course but no one can talk to a dog, of course unless that that dog is the famous ……… Sandy.

    it IS kind of rude to pull on the lead during.. that.. I hate it when coffeesister and I are out for walks and she does it to me.

    RhodesTer - Maybe you aren’t arching your back enough??

    Dogs are great Coco is my personal trainer, she comes over when Corrie starts and gives me the look that says “take me for a walk or I’ll bite yer ASS”

    What a considerate dog she is, except it seems the human she called over was more interested in talking to her than to you, which might have defeated the purpose. Did she get her nap?

    it’s true, Irish women are so easy to pick up even a dog can do it, pity a few more men don’t try :-)

    Roy - Your dog is also a discerning judge of television programmes!

    Karyn - Sandy got her nap, and I got my company. All happy.

    Flirty - Never underestimate the pulling power of a dog. Are Irish women that easy? Are you doing anything tonight?
