Doing It Doggy Style [surgery, that is]


Sunday finds me walking through regents park with Sidney.
"Oh, look, what a funny looking dog!"
said some woman to her young boy.
"Can we stroke him?" asked the mother
""Sure."
There then followed several seconds of stroking the hound before she said [to her boy, not me]
"I wonder what he would have looked like if his tail hadn't been cut of."
"His tail hasn't been docked, that's how they are!"
"Well it looks as though he's been done."
I was highly tempted to say to this yiddisher momma that her boy looked as though he'd been "done" too but decided to call it a draw and walk away.
The moral of this story is two-fold.
  1. I seem to get into arguments when ever I take the dog out for a walk.
  2. Hampstead 4 by 2's obviously care for there animals while not being bothered about mutilating their sons.

You do seem like an emotional sort! How is your blood pressure! Relax! It's only life...

The funny thing about reading the Brit Blogs is the translation. In America “Can we stoke him?” means something decidedly different.
