Thou Foul Beast, Thou Basest Worm...
I have a houseguest this weekend, Jura, a Scottish import Springer. And
Cala (2 year old Dobe) is just being SO insufferable. Now mind you, she knows this dog, she's known him since he was a baby puppy and he's now a year old. But she's discovered that as he's a mere MALE and she's a BITCH, she can reduce him to quivering jelly. And she's really, really enjoying it. I'm always reminded of the scene in McCaig's Nop's Trials where Nop totally falls in love with the b**ch in the next run, and for days she spurns him in formal verse. Cala is telling Jura, "Thou foul beast, thou basest worm, thou artst scum, thou art not fit to lick the dung from the bottom of mine feet." All this is accompanied by extravagant facial expressions, typically showing each of her 42 teeth in glorious, shining white. And poor Jura is awed. "Oh, thou artst beauteous, might I be permitted to worship thou toenails?" Now mind you, this is TOTALLY different than what happens when Nell stays here. Nell, dingo-dog, 10 years old and 30 pounds of tough, walks into this house and owns it. Viva tolerates her benignly (just like she's doing with Jura). Cala gives her a very, very wide berth. Poor Jura. |
