Ever have one of those days where your dog kicks the shit right before you pick it up? It's not so bad unless it happens right in front of the entrance to the dog park, and the shit the dog kicked lands all over the street... and yes, the DPG crew is there to witness it. We've all been embarrassed by our dogs but have you noticed how dogs can get embarrassed too? Sometimes I bend down to wipe my dog's eye mucus and she'll pull away from me because she doesn't want the other dogs in the park to see this display. But if we're home she'll let me clean everything from her ears to her tail without a fuss. Yesterday she did something she's never done before and I could tell that it was even taboo in the doggy world. I was lying down on my bed with my laptop when I noticed Hailey suddenly get up and cower into the corner. With her tail between her legs and the saddest puppy dog eyes I knew something was wrong... anyone who knows my Australian Cattle Dog can vouch that she doesn't cower for anything. Before I could get up to survey the problem I realized it was sitting a foot away from me... on my bed. Apparently she dropped a doodoo ball on my bed while she was shifting around. Seriously! It wasn't soft or sickly, it was a solid ball that could have easily been mistaken for a dark chocolate truffle. After I got rid of the evidence I tried consoling the pathetic mass of fur laying on the floor but to no avail. She didn't even want to be seen. I'm guessing dogs have their own code of manners, and if the other dogs at the park knew this they'd definitely make fun of her.
I'm wondering what other things embarrass the DPG dogs... feel free to chime in with your own stories.
