Daisy's diary: the two-nose strategy
July 14th 2009 01:08
The back door to the house is closed and I need to go to the little girl's lawn. Big Boss is working in the study so I have to get him to open the door for me.
In the study, he's tapping away at the keyboard when I give him a prod to the knee with my nose. His right hand reaches down and gives my left ear a scratch, and then returns to the keyboard. He hasn't understood.
I give him another nose-nudge, and am rewarded with another quick ear scratch. Big Boss sure knows how to focus on his work.
I give him a third, more insistent nudge. Big Boss stops typing, looks at me, then bends down and gives me a huge hug. "Lovely girl," he says, and returns to typing.
I once heard someone say that it helps to cross your legs when you need to pee, but I tried and it doesn't work for dogs. I need to think of something else.
I trot back to the living room and over to the sofa where Scratchy is dreaming about food. "Hey, doofus," I say. He lifts his head and looks at me moronically. I can see him considering his response. He finally settles for, "Huh?"
"We have a back-door problem," I say. "Come with me and do the two-nose thing."
This is an old trick, well-known to dogs. It only works if you can find some bare human skin, but luckily Big Boss is wearing shorts. "One, two, three," I say to Scratchy, and together we push our noses into his thigh.
Big Boss jumps, looks at us, gets the message and heads off to open the door.
It just proves the old adage, two noses are wetter than one.
