In which George embarrasses me

I've just come back from a walk with Tamsin. Along the beach we were overtaken by another couple. They'd gone a little ahead when they turned and looked - and then stared behind us.

I glanced around and George was humping their dog. At the wrong end.

He's fourteen. It's probably too late for him to learn the right end.

Parents are supposed to embarrass children not the other way around.

And what's more, George has out-Pavloved Pavlov. He only has to bark for me to leap to my feet to let him out/in. Pavlov's dogs got fed. I don't even get a treat as a reward.

That's so funny. I had a dog that was getting old and I was walking him across the street in the crosswalk, with cars waiting at the light when Sport started humping the air. No dog there - I was very embarrassed.

Oh, GEORGE! Don't worry, Liz, I am emailing you about a defence lawyer who will gladly take George's case.

Oh Debby, I think that might be even worse!

George is very grateful, Debra. Does he have a calling card?

I guess you really can't teach an old dog new tricks, LOL!

He's just showing off that he's the alpha dog there so you don't forget.
