My dog doesn't cooperate in hot weather. For his midday walks, he goes to the end of the driveway and stands by the road, surveying what he misguidedly believes is his domain (the entire block). Then he digs in and refuses to be moved. (You'd be surprised how strong a 20-pound Yorkie can be. He's solid muscle.) It's in the 90s, sun beating down, and I just want him to go to the nearest telephone pole and pee a few times so we can go back in.
But today was payback. He wanted to hang out at the edge of the road, I was trying to coerce him back into the yard to find a pee target, and a truck drove by with a dog in it. The dog barked at Teddy, Teddy jumped and RAN back to the house. I had quite a laugh, and now he's pouting because he doesn't like to be laughed at.
