Dog definitions

dog greeting procedure
Greyhound greeting protocol

My human's a nice enough fella but his language skills are a bit of a laugh. For one thing, he gets the meaning of things all muddled up. For example, you should see what he calls a run!


So, just to help out, and for the sake of a bit of efficient communication around here, I thought I'd make the following list of terms and phrases that the two-legged guy regularly gets wrong.

In each case, I've given the Man's definition, followed by the Greyhound's definition. Just to ensure you're following me, the definitions preceded by G are the correct ones.

M: Man, master of the universe
G: Man, provider of dinner

M: Greyhound, world's gentlest pet
G: Greyhound, master of the universe

M: Slow walk
G: I'm cold

M: Walk
G: Are we moving yet?

M: Power walk
G: Perceptible movement

M: Jog
G: This is almost worth getting off the sofa for

M: Run
G: Fun

M: Sprint
G: Fool! Let me off this damn lead and I'll show you what sprint means

M: Thinking pace — blog content idea generation
G: Thinking pace — how long until dinner?

M: Exercise regime
G: Born to run

M: New running shoes
D: New chew toy

M: Scenery
D: Sniffery

M: Other dogs — smile
D: Other dogs — Whine, yap, touch nose, sniff front, sniff rear, sniff under, wag

M: Other humans — smile
D: Other humans — Not there, you two-pawed oaf. Just behind the ears ... ahhh, that's it

Scratchy's diary: Plugging plonk

You won't believe this, but the Big Boss has just launched a blog about wine.

He says this is a business blog as opposed to a personal blog, and if you insist you can see it here, but I'd prefer you didn't go have a look. It will only encourage him to spend more time blogging about wine and less time about Short Black and me. Won't it, Short Black?

Where's the new dog? Oh, blog. I thought you said dog.

Silly Short Black. Anyway, in planning opening promotions for his new blog, I heard Big Boss on the phone to his business partner suggesting they organise a photo shoot.

"What we need," I heard him say, "is a long, slim, leggy supermodel." So I immediately volunteered.

I make a great supermodel, don't you think?

You have to stand around forever though. It gets tiring.
