What a good ....!

George is getting very good at cocking his leg. I tried to take his photo when we were out on the tip this morning but he said, 'Why are you taking a photo of me peeing?'
'So I can show people how clever you are.'
'I don't want lots of people seeing me peeing.'
'But they all love you and and will tell you that you're wonderful.'
'Will they?'
'Oh yes.'
'Hmmm. But all the same, I can't perform when you're filming me.'
Flipping diva.

I did manage to get this sneaky one though. It's not his best attempt. He can do much better. Sometimes he doesn't even fall over afterwards.

When he successfully cocks his leg, I've got into the habit of clapping and saying, 'What a good c***, George!' Younger Son says I shouldn't say this. At least not in public. In fact, perhaps I had better asterisk the word: it might attract the wrong sort. And you'll know what it's meant to be, won't you?


I got my day all back to front and I went walking without showering - or even washing - beforehand. But that's okay as:
a) we don't see many people over the tip;
b) anyone who sees me in my Eric Morecambe shorts, pink Little Miss Sunshine socks and filthy falling-apart shoes would give me a wide clearance anyway. So not washing wouldn't matter.

As a rule. Today we saw, at the sweaty end of our walk, Miss Glamour Girl 2008. How can anyone look glamorous walking a dog?

George is so beautiful! I do admire his modesty. Not all dogs would be so modest. I wish I had George to go on a walk with me everybody in my neighborhood looks like walked off some model runway. They don't even sweat like normal folk. Have a great day! Give George a pat on the head or a belly rub~which ever is to his liking!

Rescue Dog says that he sometimes pees without lifting a leg whenever he fancies a change!

George looks so big and handsome these days. Tell him we all think he's a clever dog.

Wilma has a style all of her own and it is certainly NOT ladylike! Hmmmmmmmm yes must try and capture her!

Mr Mutt and George appear to have much in common. Next door's twin tabbies enjoy putting him off his stride. A draughty breeze does the same. It'll be embarssment in front of the chooks next.....
Thank you for calling by - my pleasure to call back.
Best wishes x

lol! I think son is right about not mentioning 'the word'!
I bet it's quite funny when he falls over, does he get cross if you laugh?

That word is rather awkward! Some of my union meetings are in a Hotel of that name and, well some of the departments treat that as spam and bounce the emails. What does a girl have to do to get the emails through :-/

Watching dogs learning to cock their legs and pee can be quite hilarious at times...they're such klutzes at that age.

I don't have a shower before my walk. I have one when I get home all hot and sweaty...it's bliss! And I certainly don't dress up like your glamour girl...I'm in my daggy clothes and who cares, I don't.

Gee, I've been so busy this past week with my visitors that I've missed all your latest posts. Phew...just read them all and you've been busy, too! I'm exhausted from all the fun we've had so must get some much-needed sleep. Come over to check out some of what we did - and what I'd love to be able to do with you, too. :D

Just as well you took photo now. After his op he'll not be so keen for a while.

What I can't understand is how women can wear white trousers on a winter's day when there's slush on ther ground. How do they keep them clean? Is there a force field?
