[Dailydrool] Another houndie lawyer for the firm of Nigel & Llewis, Esq.

[Val Brewer]

There is a small covered portico just outside our front door which provides 
shelter to anyone standing at the front door in a rainstorm. To the left of the 
portico is a small laundry room. Today I was outside doing laundry and found my 
nostrils curling from an absolute stench (ammonia-like; don't know if nostrils 
actually curl). At first, couldn't figure out the source. It has been pouring 
rain all week.

We have two hounds. One is a gentleman--Harley. In all the time we have had him, 
Harley has never had a housebreaking accident. (His brother, Bo, is a different 
story entirely--Bo's nickname of Mr. Pee-body is well earned). During this past 
week of rain, several times I have noticed Harley standing three-quarters out of 
the dog door; just back legs inside the house; doggie door flap balanced on his 
head; surveying the territory. I assumed he was checking to see how hard the 
rain was coming down and whether it was dry enough to venture outside or not 
yet. 


Oh no--Lt. Harley was following the letter of the law on house rules, though not 
its spirit, as I think lawyers say. His plumbing apparatus was resting on the 
ledge of the doggie door and he was peeing through the doggie door onto the 
welcome mat just outside the door on the covered portico. The welcome mat was 
positively saturated with pee! ("Hey mom, I was peeing outside--can't fault 
me".) What a welcome for anyone unlucky enough to stand at our door.

And Bo? He found indoors just as convenient. I've got the Bissell out today. I 
guess Lt. Harley still wins the prize. So Lt. Harley wonders if the firm of 
Nigel & Llewis, Esq. would be interested in a new hire.
