I was dog-sitting a friend’s dog. One day the dog was lying in the middle of the living room floor pointing straight at the front door, feeling very sorry for herself because Mom was away. The poor dog looked forlorn and pathetic. I went toward her and said “Oh, you poor doggie” or some such thing, and her face looked even more pathetic. But just then, as she was looking her most pathetic, her tail started to wag. That was a dead giveaway: she was putting it on!
Priceless! Thanks for the laugh.
