Hearing Ear Dog Stories 2



Transcript:

Hi, I'll now talk Hearing Ear Dog Stories Part 2.

The dog's now about 10 years old and my kids were 4 and 2. We decided to go to the Mall and wander around. My daughter was in the stroller and my son was running around. We were walking along when the leash tugged me back, the dog wasn't following. I looked back to see him squatting. I screamed "Not in the Store!!" What am I to do??? I'm all out of bags! I'm searching thru the stroller for something to use. I didn't want people to walk along and step in it and I get in trouble for it! I told my son to go into the store and ask the lady for a bag. He runs off into the store, I'm all worried watching for him in case someone snatches him or he gets distracted and runs off somewhere else. My daughters throwing a fit and rocking the stroller back and forth. I'm telling her to wait, the dog's sitting there, ears back, looking guilty, I wanted to swat him! There's people bustling about and I'm watching they don't step in the mess. I look up to see a group of teenage girls heading my way. I try waving at them but they're too busy chatting and looking all over. I screamed "HEY!" They jumped up and I pointed down at the mess and they freak and back away. My mind's running a million things at once. Women can think a million things at once but men only think of 3 things 1) Sex 2) Drinking 3) Sports Thats it! Anyways back to the point. My son runs back out "Mommy! I got a bag!" and its HUGE!! "ohhh good boy thank you" Open this huge bag, reach in and scoop up the mess and clean up. The dog's still looking guilty "Don't Poop in the Mall!!" Think its finished?? Nooo.....Later that week we go to Church. We were a little late, I dropped my daughter off in daycare then walk to the other end of the church and dropped my son off at Sunday school. On the way to the worship the leash yanked again. "AHHH not in CHURCH!!" I don't have any bags Shoot!! A woman walking down the hall ducked into one door of the kitchen, came out with a bag and smiled "good morning" "Oh thank you thank you". I cleaned it up and put it in the trash then went into the service. My husband nudged me "why late?" "the dog pooped in the hall" He's snickering and then nudges me again "did you clean it up?" "Yes, there's only 1 dog in the church they'll know its ME"

We later went to the Vet and determined that he's getting old and nervous in public or busy places so I had to retire him early. When he was 12 he started losing his hearing and the family joke was we need a Hearing Ear Cat for the Hearing Ear Dog.

That's my most embarrassing moment. Hope it never happens to you!
