Please, please can we go to the lake so
that I can jump in and swim around in the water to cool off and fetch branches
out for you????
As you have probably already
guessed, this is my pleading look, chin resting on the arm of the Bosses chair,
ears flat and soppy looking, eyes big and staring straight into his eyes…….
I can maintain this look for quite
a long time – long enough for the Boss to feel guilty that he he’s been dozing
while I’ve been patiently waiting for signs of life. The moment he stirs, I activate the
full-strength stare, willing him to give in and take me swimming.
Occasionally my technique fails
and I have to appeal to the Mrs in a similar manner which usually elicits a
response such as “your dog wants to go for a walk, probably to the lake”. Eventually one of them cracks and I get
taken to the lake where I can dive in and swim around to cool off and
play. The only trouble is the Boss then
gets involved in untangling all his fishing gear and dangling it into the
water, in which case I am banned from swimming near him and have to remain
clear of his rods. It’s a fishy business so I paddle around the other side of
the lake and test out the theory that I can catch a carp faster than he can………
