Yesterday afternoon the foreman plumber called in by chance to see how his heating system has bedded down. He checked this and that and tweaked the other and also kissed Winnie on the forehead as she stood straining with lips pursed, on the armchair as he passed.
He was chatting about us having solar panels installed when Mrs Frazer knocked on the kitchen window waving a handful of Christmas cards, so asked if he could use the loo as I went to answer the door.
I forgot to warn him of Mary's obsession with the toilet bowl.
Now I am the one that has fostered this latest Welsh terrier bad habit , for because of her need to follow me everywhere, I have allowed her to accompany me into the loo when I go so she can indulge herself in a very happy 20 seconds post ablution, moment of watching the water ( and detritus) swirling down the bowl!
Mrs Frazer was hanging around in order to work out who my other visitor was when the plumber returned with Mary in tow.
I think she had literally caught him by surprise, for before he said his goodbyes , he whispered conspiratorially
" I've just peed on your dog's head"
The problem was( in mary's defence) that i always sit on the loo, i never stand to pee!
ReplyDeleteI was about to say "TMI, John", but it's our job to defend our furry friends at whatever cost, isn't it?
DeleteAn occupational hazard?
ReplyDeleteJP
How come you exude "detritus" and not turds?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised he volunteered the information. What did you say?
ReplyDeleteI laughed
DeleteI was just going to say the same thing! Brave man!
DeleteAnd you still wonder why they took your old mattress away in a sealed bag?
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh this morning, thank you. The same happened to my dog,except my dog went bug shit crazy after it happened. The boy friend (ex) was lucky to get out of there with all his bits and bobs intact.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the dog will now rethink that habit?
ReplyDeleteInto every life a little rain must fall.
ReplyDeleteLOL, sad but true :)
DeleteElsie is the same - loves watching as the toilet flushes. It must be a quirk of the breed. xx
ReplyDeleteMy cat will watch if allowed, I am afraid she will fall in ..
DeleteIf rumours get started in Trelawnyd about kinky goings-on at your cottage, I'd blame Mrs Frazer.
ReplyDeletewas the door open?
ReplyDeleteMust have been ....
DeleteMary must learn to stand back from the line of fire! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI wonder who was most surprised by this?
ReplyDeleteMrs Frazer?
DeleteHands free?
ReplyDeleteHands free?
ReplyDeleteIs that you milicent?
DeleteNot this time
DeleteWow...I hope the dog got rinsed off?
ReplyDeleteShes had worse
DeleteOoh dear, I couldn't help but giggle :)
ReplyDeleteA mid-stream moment caught off-guard.
Mary ....
~Jo
I think she jumped in from the side
DeleteOh My Goodness !
ReplyDeleteEveryday is very interesting.
cheers, parsnip
At least he had the good grace to tell you! Does she ever do that with the Prof?
ReplyDeleteNo, but generally she never follows him anywhere
DeleteWhat is it about loo visits. Some day I will be able to go on my own.
ReplyDeleteFortunately I haven't (yet) piddled on anyone's head. Despite temptation.
It could only happen in your household!
ReplyDeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteEwww
ReplyDeleteBless you John, this post made me laugh. Just what I needed!
ReplyDeleteWell, there it is. :)
ReplyDeleteLaughing away here late at night ... only on Going Gently, folks :)
ReplyDeleteOur furry family do watch our every move.. mine accompany me to the loo as well but enjoy the trip even more if I go to the back door loo - where their doggy door is located. Then they can nip out at the same time.. all very companionable!! No flushing water watchers here - they are much too short. Bella one of ours hates 'farting' gets really disgusted.. I can imagine the look on her face if she got peed on!! Sounds like Mary was unperturbed..she's a trooper :)
ReplyDeleteI did a LOL - which is rare.
