Dog Nose – Part 4

A body with a dog nose in the front has a tail on the back. When Chris Ann, a Cocker Spaniel, was with us, even though she had a bobbed tail she wagged it as best she could – of course Chris Ann wagged the entire back-half of her body, she could get so excited that she’d pee. A rule for living with Chris Ann is that when we arrived home that we’d open the door and let her run outside to greet us, otherwise in her excitement she might have an accident inside the house. I guess that’s what happens when your whole back half is moving at the speed of a centrifuge.

Writing this conjures up the image of taking Christy to visit friends who had just moved into a brand new house with, naturally, brand new carpet. Vickie, Christy and I walked into the great room and were talking (that is Vickie and I were talking) with our friends when three or four of our friends’ cats came to inspect Christy, while Christy didn’t pee, a few round objects rolled out of her behind. Needless to say Chris wasn’t wagging her tail – it was frozen in cat alert. Vickie was embarrassed by the incident, but Chris didn’t even seem to be aware that she was rolling out housewarming gifts and I thought it was amusing. I’m sure the cats thought, “Doesn’t she know how to use the litter box?”
