Default 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.
