Dawson & John are up to their old tricks again

Sunday was a beautiful day and we received an impromptu invitation from a friend to come over and enjoy the pool at their home. We do “dog sharing” with them so Dawson was included in the invitation.

We were all enjoying ourselves in the pool – humans and dogs - when Dawson decided to do the shaggy dog routine and took a quick lap around the pool shaking with great pleasure. And then The Walking Food Processor spotted an opportunity – an unattended table full of cheese and crackers. Faster than the sped of light he grabbed a HUGE chunk of untouched cheese and wolfed it ALL down in one fell swoop!

In the commotion to try and stop him (as if anyone would want the rest of the cheese after Dawson’s big chops were all over it!) John jumped out of the pool. However, being a closet exhibitionist, John’s bathing suit fell down and he flashed a FULL WHITE moon at everyone in the pool. All attention shifted from Dawson the Cheese Thief to John the Flasher.

After everyone calmed down Dawson showed his pleasure by licking his chops for a full 5 minutes while John stayed a brilliant shade of red. Meanwhile I was mortified that both the males in the family could be so embarrassing at the same time.

Between John and Dawson we have been banned from ever returning to any local pool.
