When dogs pout and kangaroos gossip

I have no idea whether kangaroos gossip, the title of this post is just a spoof of a nature documentary called «When elephants cry and chimpanzees laugh» or something like that. I thought it would be a cool segue into bragging about my dog Toast a.k.a Loulou.

Here she is, my Princess:












Uh..no, wait. This shot was taken when she was drunk. Let me find a better picture.

OK, here's a better one:



Anyhoo, Loulou sleeps in my bed every night (yep, that's how pathetic my sex life is). But the other night, as I was massaging her before she goes to sleep as usual, I noticed that her collar was a bit tight, so I removed it to loosen it. Boy, was she mad! Normally she hates to be without her collar but that night she was particularly testy, growling and pacing. Once I have stretched out her collar a bit, I tried to put it back on her, but she was furious and left the room in a huff. That night, she slept in the living room, refusing to return to my bed despite all my pleas.

Another night, my son Asparagus was teasing her, poking her with her rope toy, trying to make her bite the rope and play the pulling game. But she was in no mood to play, so after a while, she did take the rope in her mouth, but then she just went and spit it out in the waste basket, and went back to sleep on the sofa. One can imagine that, if she had hands, she would have probably wiped them in a dismissive way, saying: «There! No more of that nonsense!»

In conclusion, as a result of these conclusive and scientific observations, I can certify that dogs pout and do not suffer fools gladly.

Kangaroos' gossiping habits are still under study.
