walking the pooch :(

Is that the same as the Manhattan Strut? :cool2:

Small to dry, needs less exercise.

.........fits more easily in a microwave....

Oooh you horrible man. Microwave indeed. I one owned a cairn, or she owned me, and there was a MBer who wrote about his dog a lot. The best breed of all IMHO.

Fred Astaire had a song called 'Walking the dog' in one of his musicals with Ginger Rogers. Round the deck of a ship with Ginger passing him occasionally. Good tune for Mahlerei to hum as he walks the pooch perhaps.

"Walking the Dog". Nothing like a bit of George Gershwin. It is so delightfully laid back:

Oooh you [...] man.

Oh and thanks for the explanation of Walking the Dog, saly. I'd always assumed the expression to be some sort of euphemism

The sun's just come out

Whenever I think of "Walking the Dog", I remember this performance:

Afternoon Mahlerei. Do you ever wish your son had decided on a corgi or a cairn terrier? Small to dry, needs less exercise. Bestio,saly

She is good exercise for us all. Took her for a long walk and several fast circuits of the green just before the rain came down. Lots of strangers stop to talk and admire her, people who wouldn't usually say a word to you on your own. Strange, that.

[salymap]

Yes I always talk to people with cairn terriers. They are usually pleased that I don't call the dog a scottie. Actually cairns are much prettier dogs IMO.

[Serial_Apologist]

Three heavy showers already since 12 noon, and now thunder.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

...hollyhocks now strung up! quite sunny and warm in middle kingdom with rain always looking imminent ...

[salymap]

Yes thunder has just reached here. Time to switch off and have a nap.

Mahlerei. Well known fact. Men that own and exercise attractive pooches attract females! There was a survey somewhere which coborrated this. Women see men with an attractive, female, pooch as caring, sharing, in tune with their feminine side.
