Other Dog

“Strong enough for a man but made for a chihuahua.” As I wandered through the local PetCo, the display for “Chienel #5” dog cologne stopped me in my tracks. Every few months, I comb the aisles of the pet mega-mart, looking for new products and dog foods that could be potential sponsors for my Iditarod team. At $7.49 for a 2 fl. oz. spray, I couldn’t believe that the 16-count display only had 3 bottles left. I imagine there are several disgruntled canines in Great Falls, reeking of not-so-cheap cologne.

Danger - Wet Floor

Marilyn Monroe, Don Juan, and Romeo were lounging in front of a fan on the ceramic tile floor in the downstairs bathroom of a very swank, upscale home in Missoula where I was attending a party. The dogs looked more like reclining horses with their giant bodies covering almost every inch of available walking space. I hesitated before entering, hoping they would see that I needed to use the facilities and politely move. They didn’t budge or even lift their heads when I called their names. I stepped over and around the maze of dogs, petting the two male Saint Bernards on the head and stroking the silky coat of Marilyn, the elegant Bernese Mountain Dog.

They say that most household accidents happen in the bathroom.
