walking the dog



if only ...




in the heat, yep i said heat ... we do indeed have Heat with a capital H!
walking miss muni is hard work.

lil' miss has her very own fan club, do i know these dear folks...
nope, not really.
the thing is ... muni knows them! if she sees/smells/whatever dogs do
them up ahead, she feels a deep need to speed up from our normal canter
to a full blown gallop. indeed!
should her friend be behind us, lil' miss applies brakes,
without prior warning. this practice tends to leave my body
in forward motion whilst my shoulder dislocates.
she ... puts doggy bum on the ground and waits.

ahhhh, heaving and pulling is so humiliating ... sigh.
it is also pointless!
i am a great fan of the dog whisperer, i walk erect, i own the road,
my beloved bullie dog, enthralled by my leadership of our small pack,
should trot at my side, ignoring all others!

hey caesar! how about a trip to bonnie scotland, to whisper direct
into those beautiful pointy ears. no matter how many times i mention the
fact, miss muni refuses to understand/accept... the only one leader per pack rule!

enjoy!

I taught my pooch to walk a little bit behind me - a la the dog whisperer. It works - most of the time. Or, perhaps the reason he's so submissive now is because he hit his head on one too many hydro poles while trying to look behind him....
