Are dogs better than men?
Even if you are not a dogaholic, you know they are!
Loyal, caring, easy-going, cheerful, playful,and so on. Actually, any praiseful adjective suits them, whereas for men... well, that's another story.
Yet, when it comes to politeness, things are quite different.
Don't get me wrong, dogs have manners.
They never fail to greet their owners with open paws, sometimes a bit too loudly, but who would refuse to be cheered to the echo?
They always eat their meals, as if you were a culinary genius. Quite comforting for a hopeless cook like me.
Whatever your look, they always drool over you, as if you were the eighth wonder of the world. Let me tell you that when you come back from the hairdresser with a weird hairstyle, or from the shop ,bulging out of brand new trousers, their eyes filled with admiration really cheer you up!
Yet, there is a limit to their politeness, and that limit is called 'boredom'.
Yes, guys, when dogs get bored, they forget their good manners, and it doesn't take them long to overstep the mark.
Just when left alone? Not at all!
Even when they are with their owners, they can get fed up, too, and show it quite cheekily.
For example, being stuck in a conversation of which they can't catch a single woof is for most of them dull, and far too long.
What happens then?
Well, the most courteous dogs usually lie down, and take forty winks.
Unfortunately, those well-behaved dogs can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and I have never had the privilege of sharing my life with any of them.
Charly, the first shelter dog I adopted, was a real gentledog. He knew the Knights Code of Chivalry, and was honest, respectful and always ready to help (especially to unpack shopping bags or clean the dishes).
But to be up to his moral values, he needed a beauty sleep, and stuck to the principle that one hour's sleep before midnight is worth two after.
So, to put an end to dinner parties too long to his taste, he used to sneak under the table, and fart near each of our guests, till they left, fearing a gas leak in the building!
Awfully vulgar and embarrassing, but maybe that's the kind of things French shelter dogs do when they get bored.
I'm sure you've heard about French President Macron's shelter dog who peed in the fireplace during a meeting which was perhaps too long and boring to his taste.
No?
Well, here is the video.It's just fun!! I never get tired of watching it!
