Our Two Dogs

My wife has a broken foot because of one of our dogs. He is always under foot.

 

 
Our dogs are very different
that you can plainly see.
One has to take a little squat
the other lifts a leg to pee.
 
When you will meet them on a track
one barges on boldly ahead.
While the other with great caution
will humbly step pack instead.
 
The first dog got in my wife’s way
for her it was a big mistake.
His legs and hers got all mixed up
and made a bone in her foot brake.
 
Now she limps around on crutches
watching him with the greatest care.
Of course he walks all around
ignoring the fact she is there.
 
If he was a person we’d sit down
and try to have a long talk.
But he’s a dog and that’s a fact
so we have to watch where we walk.

I friend of my had the same problem, his mutt ignored everybody and got in the way all the time, until a "dog whisperer" after unsucceful trying all his proven metods suggested one of those small canisters of compressed air and a trumpet like plastic mouth to use everytime the dog happened to be in the way.
After a few etrident short blast, the dog got aware when feet approached and got out of the way pronto! (its heart got stronger too)

So very cute! I almost cut my finger off the other day straddling 14 year old hairy chow Brutus while trying to shave his hair for the summer. However, my few choice words were met with obedience finally as if he really understood me! ha, great write, Deborah

Owtch!!!!!!! But you love 'em - or you wouldn't write about them. Broke my tailbone once because of a StormPhobic dog - that hurt! Hope your wife feels better, soon. An excellent write.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
