I hate him...
So Murphy is outside on the deck this morning. It's raining outside, but that should not pose a problem because much of my deck is covered by an overhang that allows man and dog alike to sit outside in a rainstorm and not get wet.
Murphy's a duck of a different color, though. He spends his time over by the rail on a section of the deck that's not protected from the elements. He's hunting cats and that's more important than staying dry, I guess.
Eventually I let in and then I go back into my office to finish an e-mail. He follows me into my office and stands in front of me and for the first time I see how wet he is. Water is beaded up all over his coat. I figure that I should go get a towel to dry him off, but before I do, I scratch his head and say: "Awww... Look at you! Who's a wet dog?"
In response, he shakes vigorously, flinging a considerable amount of water all over me, my computer, my papers, and my fresh cup of hot tea.
I hate him. I SO hate him.
Awwwww...look at you! Who's a wet human?

ReplyDeleteHe just wanted to share.
ReplyDeleteUm... Below average on headwork Murph, towel FIRST, then dog :-)
ReplyDeleteChecklist:
ReplyDeleteStep 1: Note precipitation
Step 2: Notice wet dog
Step 3: Get towel
Step 4: Open door and grasp dog
Step 5: Towel dog vigorously
Step 6: Allow dog further entry
Step 7: Now scratch dog's head and whisper sweet nothings.
If dog returns to outside, repeat from step 1.
Sooo,....what you're saying is that you are 100% at fault in this issue by not doing a remodel on your deck so Murphy doesn't have to get wet regardless of where he stands if the weather is bad. Sheesh....
ReplyDeleteAdmitting it is the first step. ;-)
Plus you know you LOVE him. :-)
Our shepherd Ruger is so programmed to come in lie down on the rug by the back door if he's wet to get toweled off...
ReplyDeleteI sprayed water at him for a second while watering the wife's flowers yesterday and he came in and immediately laid down waiting to get toweled off...
...cracks me up, he's such a creature of habit now...
